CORBA Question
Not sure yet if this is the best mail group to ask this question but
it's a start.
We have been looking at cfx as a general service infastructure but have
a need for CORBA support. I see on the website that it is mentioned. Is
this implimented currently, if not then then could we impliment this
feature if yes whats the process overview?
Best Regards,
Steve

FYI we've done that for Axis2 as well- a fully dynamic
serializer/deserializer that takes Axiom and goes in and out of IIOP. The
result is that we can post any CORBA object as a Web service and auto
generate WSDL etc..
The code is committed but is undergoing some changes to make it work under
the Axis2 client API as well - so you can point to a WSDL with a CORBA
binding and have the right stuff get wired in so that you can talk to it
using the ServiceClient API. (We're basically bringing all WSIF
functionality under the Axis2 APIs.)
Eranga Jayasundera (cc'ed) implemented this and is working now to finish
the client side too with Deepal Jayasinghe (one of the main axis2
committers). An article about this implementation will be ready soon too.
(Eranga did this for his MSc thesis for which I was the supervisor ..
which is my connection to this.)

Thanks dan i have already been playing with yoko. I will have a look
there then let you now what the situation is and what we can do if this
is not complete. I am quite willing to open our solution if it is
wanted.
Thanks again for your help.

I'm CCing the yoko-dev group. They have written plugins into CXF (and
some idl <-> wsdl tooling) that allow some level of CORBA support.
Using the CXF JAX-WS api's, you can expose a service as a CORBA service
or use the CXF clients to talk to a CORBA service. I don't know the
full details of what is and is not supported. You'd have to ask them or
check their docs/website/wiki.
That said, a discussion has been started to move those plugins from Yoko
to CXF directly. Thus, there is a strong possibility that the support
will be part of a future version of CXF.

If you'd like to get involved, I'd definitely suggest starting by
looking at Yoko. Start with that, fix issues, propose enhancements,
etc....
Thanks!
