CORBA.. (I know it's a COM forum)
-
Hi, I am looking for ways to simplify obtaining data across multiple operating systems. The data could be from anywhere from databases to shared memory to flat files. My first thoughts were to use TCP/IP and create a custom messaging protocol but I have read a little about CORBA and wondered whether anyone had used and whether it was useful? DCOM obviously cannot be used as it is Microsoft specific unless you use a COM/CORBA bridge. Cheers James

Hi, I think custom TCP/IP protocol is the best solution! You will never achieve the same performance using COBRA or DCOM. And it's not very hard to do... Regards, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software.

I would recommend OmniORB (www.omni.org) It is free. But as another replied you will never achieve the same performance as you can with raw TCP/IP. That said, we are running 5000 requests a second on a PIII/500 using omniORB. Christian Skovdal Andersen
