I have successfully extracted the JavaIDL ORB from JDK1.2b3 and use it
under JDK1.1.7. As I had to patch the ORB to fix some bugs, a work I
wouldn't want to repeat, I haven't tried with the latest releases.
Actually, with some layer code, we successfully use JavaIDL for an,
admittedly relatively small server. Successfully deployed on Solaris,
Linux and Windows NT ! The additional functionality of Visibroker, for
example, does IMHO not pay off the much higher price. The POA (portable
object adapter) could be a reason to switch to another ORB. Ad
performance, using a JDBC connected DB as backend, you don't *really* need
to care about the ORB.

I didn't follow it ... has Sun released JavaIDL as open source ? If yes,
this combination is indeed possible today.
