Hi, I am also playing with a new invoker. Well, not really new... It is actually the JRMP invoker code, with just a few changes to sent the Invocation over IIOP rather than JRMP. In the lack of a better name, I am calling it JavaIIOPInvoker.
JavaIIOPInvoker is quite different from the plain IIOPInvoker. It is also much simpler. By way of comparison: - IIOPInvoker allows IIOP access to the actual interfaces of deployed beans. When a client calls create() on an EJBHome, an IIOP request with operation name "create" goes over the wire and is handled by the plain IIOPInvoker. - JavaIIOPInvoker allow IIOP acess to a single interface: Invoker, which essentially has a single operation, invoke(). When a client class create() on an EJBHome, an IIOP request with operation name "invoke" goes over the wire and is handled by the JavaIIOPInvoker. Info on the actual method to be invoked (create(), in this case) goes within the Invocation parameter to invoke(). Unlike IIOPInvoker, which uses an IORFactory, JavaIIOPInvoker works with the "standard" JBoss ProxyFactory. Whan a client gets a reference to an EJBHome or EJBObject, it really gets a serialized Java proxy, just like in the JRMP case. The only difference is that this proxy's delegate has a CORBA reference (IOR) to the JavaIIOPInvoker, instead of a RMI/JRMP reference to the JRMPInvoker. Everything else works (or should work) as in the JRMP case: interceptors, client container, transactions, etc. JavaIIOPInvoker is useless to non-Java clients (hence its name). I am interested in comparing it with the JRMPInvoker WRT performance. So far (a simple hello test) I got pretty much the same numbers... Of course, the performance may change with the ORB used. I am doing everything with JacORB. Should I commit this stuff? Right now I am not really sure if it will be useful or not.
