Axis2 also has CORBA bindings using Yoko. I wonder whether there's a way
to look at unifying that work to avoid whatever duplication possible.
Axis2 has a pretty complete binding and we're working on client bindings
as well (currently the work is mostly to Web service enable a CORBA object).
DanK- are you the one who's working on that part in CXF? Can you point us
to the binding code?
The Axis2 work is here:

I believe the easiest way to proceed is to draft a proposal that we
will send to both Apache Geronimo and Apache CXF. Apache CXF is still
in incubation so I'm not sure if there are any specific issues with
doing this while they are incubating. I'm copying the Incubator PMC
for their input on this proposal to make sure we have all the i's
dotted and t's crossed.

The remainder of the modules in Yoko are part of the webservices
support and are independent of the underlying ORB implementation.
api -- interface classes used for the web services support.
bindings -- code to implement the CORBA-Web services bindings.
tools -- tools for generation WSDL and IDL for the bindings
maven-plugin -- some maven plugins that can use the tools for
generating binding-related build artifacts. None of the maven-plugin
code is used by the ORB.
There is also a distribution directory with some sample applications.
One set of samples demonstrates using the core ORB, the other set is
for WebServices. We recommend that the distribution directory should
move to Apache CXF as the webservices examples use the orb samples to
bind them as web services. Since Apache Geronimo's only use of CORBA
is for exporting EJBs, these samples are not particularly valuable for
Geronimo.
The Yoko community did not have any committers that expressed an
interest in continuing work on these bindings. As such, only the code
would be moving to apache CXF.
Dan Kulp and I talked a bit yesterday (at least, I *think* it
was yesterday)... with my CXF Mentor hat on, I think this makes a lot
of sense, not only for the CXF code and functional aspects, but also
as a potential mechanism to bring in additional developers for the
podling.
