Are you suggesting both J2EE-Corba client and EJB running in the same geronimo server and they communicate each other via IIOP? I had thought that would not be using IIOP initially... Or you are suggesting 2 geronimo servers on two machines, one has the J2EE-Corba client running, the other one has the EJB running? I would prefer the later one. > > I'm not sure whether it is possible to run with no security configured. > We have a "unsecured" configuration but it has always been run with > the security gbeans present so I'm not sure if they are required. I actually want to use IIOP via SSL...

I am lost here. I thought I only need to create a J2EE-Corba application and deploy it to geronimo client container. My understanding is the GBean would be generated by the deployer automatically. Also, I noticed the Gbean configuration you mentioned to me are from doc\plan\j2EE-corba-client-plan.xml. Maybe I could leverage this corba client provided by Geronimo just to get end to end flow running? > Hope this helps and please ask if you run into more problems. Very helpful and thanks again!
