The WWW page for AdaBroker is: http://adabroker.eu.org/ AdaBroker is released under the GNU General Public License. The software can be downloaded from the WWW page. Features : ---------- - Most of the CORBA features are implemented except dynamic invocation. This includes CORBA types, CORBA exceptions, forward declarations and multiple inheritance. The Ada tasking is also working with AdaBroker. AdaBroker/Examples provides several examples of the available features. - This release has been successfully tested on Solaris. It has been reported to work on Linux (RedHat and Debian) with a home-built Ada and C++ compiler based on EGCS 1.1.1 and GNAT 3.11p. - If you need to debug AdaBroker, you can create a file adabroker.opt in your current directory. This file should contain lines with package names you want to debug. For instance, corba.orb will enable debug messages from package CORBA.ORB. If you want to debug C++ files, you can set the environment variable TRACELEVEL to a given naturel depending on how much detailed you want the output to be.
