[omniORB] Newbee Design Question

Hi,

 > Would it make sense to setup something like the "Observer Pattern"?

Assuming that all clients should be periodically updated, I would indeed
realize these clients as observers by means of the event or notification
service. This allows the server to send events to one central place
without having to take care of registration issues.

Clients will be notified of new data by means of events. Depending on
your application, those events can have some kind of metadata
description (which might even be filtered independently of clients and
servers) and carry simulation results if appropriate.

Although it's a bit of work to get the infrastructure ready, the
flexibility you gain is quite useful.
