Omniorb and Java IDL

[Thomas Wenger]

Emil asked:

Yes. Objects in Java/JavaIDL can operate with objects that are built in C++/omniORB perfectly.
Up to this moment I could not use omniNames service in Java/JavaIDL for an unknown reason. I'm working on that.

If this interface-translator generates proper IDL (what I suppose), then it can be used of course again as input to omniORBs IDL-compiler.


> With what Java technology else can OmniOrb deal ?

There are several Java ORBs, that should work with omniORB (not tested by me):
  - JacORB (FU Berlin), freeware
  - orbixWEB
  - and so on

Have a nice day
