My impression of CORBA was that it's somewhat heavyweight even for those applications it was designed for; for applications like ours where the server/client network model is ill-suited and where total programming language independence is unnecessary, it really doesn't seem like a good fit. This is just my half-baked opinion based on briefly considering CORBA for another application long ago and on casually following it's use in Linux desktop software; take it with a grain of salt. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
