ObjectInputStream & ObjectOutputStream

[zh...@gmail.com]

In google codesearch, I found following classes:

org.apache.geronimo.interop.rmi.iiop.ObjectInputStream;
org.apache.geronimo.interop.rmi.iiop.ObjectOutputStream

in geronimo-1.0-M5.

But I cannot find these classes in geronimo2.0 code. Is geronimo still
using IIOP for marshalling protocal? Is marshalling code replaced by
openejb?

Thanks,

Even when those classes were in Geronimo, they weren't being used.  
Prior to the 2.0 release, Geronimo used the JVM-native ORB for its 
rmiiiop support.  This had a number of issues, the biggest being that 
different JVMs had different native implementations (including a big 
change in the Sun one from 1.4 to 1.5).  The interop code was an early 
attempt at replacing the JVM ORB and rmiiiop support with a portable 
ORB.  That code had a lot of problems and never went anywhere, thought 
the code remained in the svn tree for a long time.

In the 2.0 release, Geronimo started using the Yoko ORB for its CORBA 
support which finally solved the JVM portability issue.  As the code was 
getting switched over, the unused interop packages were finally deleted.
