With significant props to the late, great (read, retired) Rick McGuire :) Who knows, maybe he’s looking for a side project in his retirement :) (or at least I’m going to use this as an opportunity to wave at him and say hi) :D He just drove around the entire US practically.

On a related question, how much work do you think it’d be to add CORBA support in TomEE? JAX-RPC is deprecated in EE 7 leaving CORBA as the last thing that would prevent a full profile certification. It’s tempting to consider. It is however a huge pain — as you note. -David >> On Jan 5, 2016, at 3:50 PM, David Blevins <david.blev...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Nilesh! >> >> CORBA is not supported in the current TomEE distributions, however remote >> EJBs definitely are.
