Hi,

for CORBA and and Ada95, look at Top Graph'X Ada95 implementation
of CORBA
See http://www.topgraphx.com

Hello,

as far as I know there are only a few Ada mappings for CORBA:


        - ANSA and APM ltd. provide an Ada83 mapping that might be get freely
          via the Eurocontrol Web site
          (see http://www.eurocontrol.fr/projects/arh-spv_ext/comp/)
        - IONA provides an Ada95 mapping via the Object Interface company and
          its ORBexpress product (see http://www.ois.com)
        - TRW provides an Ada95 mapping in the UNAS ORB 
          (see http://www.trw.com)
        - Top Graph'X provides an Ada95 mapping in its ORB 
          (see http://www.topgraphx.com)
        - ADEPT is an educational project and has an Ada95 mapping 
          and some Java features (see http://www.cs.tamu.edu/research/ADEPT/)

If anyone knows of other products I would be very happy to hear about them.



A couple of somewhat related question: Are there any
books/articles/tutorials dedicated to Object-Oriented Programming with
Ada95 ? Is there one of them meant for Ada83 programmers that also
know well OO programming ?

Appletmagic (www.appletmagic.com) and ObjectAda (www.aonix.com) generate byte code and include binding generators for importing class files.  
Free trials are available at both sites.  Gnat will also, as I understand it, in the not too distant future.

AdaJNI (www.ainslie-software.com) comprises a binding generator and bindings to JDK 1.1 and Swing for use from native Ada applications.
I believe it currently works with both ObjectAda and GNAT.

See http://www.buffnet.net/~westley/AdaJava/ for some simple
examples of using Aonix ObjectAda and Intermetrics Appletmagic
to write Ada applets.
