Is it possible to access  CORBA application, distributed over internet,
without modifying client firewall policy ?

ie : dynamic allocation of socket port via corba is in contradiction
with security firewall policy ?
in some cases, It is not possible to deploy Corba through client
firewalls, so that proxies have to convert CORBA objects into
XML-RPCcalls or SOAP calls through HTTP

are we near to implement CORBA firewall traversal  with OmniORB , ( with
the release 4.0 ? , later this year ?, on the never never ? )

To my opinion, this a major issue regarding the deployement of CORBA
application over internet .
 ( the only other solution to my knowledge , is HTTP tunnelling provided
by Visibroker )

I know that there is an OMG draft in progress on that topic ( OMG
document orbos/2001-01-02 )

any clue ?

thanks
