Has somebody out there done something like this. Hi, we have just started investigating CORBA as a link between (possibly multiple) Ada servers on Unix and Java clients. Unfortunately the only product available for Ada appears to be IONA's Orbix. At the CUC'97 in Munich a number of people told me it was hardly worth considering (too buggy, too incomplete etc.). Also the Ada Orbix is still based on the old CORBA standard, whereas all Java ORBs are already CORBA 2.0 - ugh. Has anyone had any experience with Orbix/Ada? Does it work? Is it usable? Are there any plans to catch up with CORBA 2.0? Cheers, Andrew. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Andrew Lynch, MEng / lynch@cci.de | Run, run, as fast as you | | CCI GmbH / alynch@iee.org | can.
