The IONA contributions will be a full working version of ORB and transport - the work will be on XML Schema <-> IDL tooling and integration, which I believe there are guys that can do that quickly from the Celtix base. IONA contributions will be a full working set to start from. Once we have a vote I will get the code out.
Hope that helps Carl. -----Original Message----- From: Kresten Krab Thorup (Trifork) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 8:54 AM To: dev@geronimo.apache.org Subject: Re: CORBA incubation proposal On Jan 18, 2006, at 11:39 PM, Alan D.

I've uploaded our RMI/IIOP mapping to JIRA (GERONIMO-1539) as contribution for the proposed geronimo/corba subproject. This is our implementation of javax.rmi.CORBA.ValueHandler and friends. A prime feature of this is that it has an efficient implementation of Util.copyObjects, that we use for inter-ejb invocations to get copy semantics for local invocations on remote interfaces (it avoids copying java.lang.String, and immutable subclasses of java.lang.Number). We are still working on the CORBA implementation, and we're currently 3 people on the project. Our current estimate on remaining work is something like 1200 hours of effective work. With this perspecive, we're looking forward to see IONAs contribution to see if we can cut down that estimate somehow. Hopefully that will be the case. Happy to hear that IONA is joining the project -- we can't wait to get started on Yoko. Right now, with the proposal up in the air, and details of IONAs contribution still missing, we're somewhat in a limbo since we don't want to duplicate something we can get from IONAs stuff. Also -- our lack of access to svn severely hurts our performance, so we hope that the Yoko project can be underway soon. Please everyone: let's get this project rolling asap. Kresten
