It's been a while since I've done much building of OpenEJB, but I was

obsolete crud leftover from openejb2?
I'm not sure. It could be cuft or a some adapter code that geronimo
calls (webservices work that way). I think you are the only one
qualified to make that call.
Currently, there's no code in this module at all! The built jar file is
essentially just the generated license and notices file.
BTW, I would like to move all of the Corba code to OpenEJB so we users
can use it in embedded testing mode. Actually, I think the only user
of the Corba code in G is OpenEJB so it seems fail that we make it the
OpenEJB project's responsibility to maintain that code.
Interesting....I had the very same thought this morning. There are a
several bits to the CORBA code, mostly in the form of GBeans for
configuring the server deployment of the ORBs and POAs used to publish
the EJBs as CORBA objects. Most of that code is highly GBean-specific.
Once all of that is dispensed with, you're left with the servant code
that provides the mappings between the CORBA world and the EJB world.
If you strip out the need for full CSIv2 support (including SSL
transport support), what's left could probably work portably with any
ORB implementation.
