Hi,
I have placed in
http://www.ime.usp.br/~reverbel/iiop-container-invoker.tar.gz
a preliminary implementation of an IIOP container invoker for JBoss.
An excerpt from its README:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
IIOPContainerInvoker requires an ORB with POA and valuetype support.
So far it was tested with jdk1.4, which includes such an ORB. It should
also run with jdk1.3 or jdk1.2, but in this case you cannot use the ORB
provided by Sun.
I did not run extensive tests yet. So far I was able to deploy/undeploy/
redeploy simple beans, and successfully run clients that make IIOP
invocations to these beans. Both session and entity beans can be deployed
and invoked via IIOP.
The major restrictions of this preliminary implementation are:
1. Overloaded methods are not supported.
2. Methods with names differing only in case are not supported.
3. Stub dowloading is not supported. IIOP clients written in Java
must have stub code available locally.
4. A CORBA naming server is required.
5. There is no transaction and security support.
I believe restrictions 1 and 2 can be removed by integrating this
container invoker with Ole Husgaard's RMI-IIOP name mangling code.
I have some ideas on how to lift restriction 3 and intend to discuss them
in jboss-dev.
... (See the README file for a roadmap to the source files
and instructions to run the IIOP container invoker.)
THANKS:
- To Ole Husgaard for a very helpful discussion in jboss-dev and for
making his IIOP code available,
- To the JBoss team for the great open source EJB server.

Francisco Reverbel
