Available instantiations include > DSA (Distributed System Annex), MOMA (Message Oriented Middleware for > Ada) and AWS (Ada Web Server). ... A few questions come to mind... Can I take an existing Annex E/Glade program and recompile it with PolyORB? (no modifications needed?) Is there a porting guide? Is this intended to supersede Glade? Does it do everything Glade could do, only better? Is PolyORB/DSA suitable in a "production" system where high reliability is wanted? How does it compare with Glade in terms of speed, complexity, code size, robustness etc? I currently use Glade, but have been unable to fix a couple of problems with the implementation, and there don't seem to be any versions beyond 3.15 on the horizon. (I know I could probably answer these questions myself in a few hours or days of experimentation, but you guys are much better placed to explain the pros and cons of the technologies.)
