Re: ORB for Python and PHP
There are others but they do not support both Python and PHP. Should I implement my own ORB, or do you know a suitable solution? The whole purpose of an ORB ist that it is interoperable. So if you have a good python orb (I personally prefer OmniORB), and a good one for PHP - connect them. Are all ORBs compatible with each other? I know that this is offtopic, but do you know any ORB for PHP? I couldn't find any. I would suggest a consistent XMLRPC-interface though. Unfortunately, this would not be good. Sometimes we need to pass through binary data (image file), do session management (which is hard to do with xml-rpc, where each request is a new connection) and optimize speed for communication when the parties are on the same machine.

Are all ORBs compatible with each other? I know that this is offtopic, but do you know any ORB for PHP? I couldn't find any. As I said - that's the *purpose* of ORBs. It has taken a while, but AFAIK by now CORBA2.3 is pretty stable. What about this? http://phporb.sourceforge.net/ I never used it though. PHP isn't to well suited for CORBA, due to the request/response-cycle based architecture. I would suggest a consistent XMLRPC-interface though. Unfortunately, this would not be good.

Then maybe thrift is for you. http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftGeneration Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
ORB for Python and PHP
We have a problem here. We have a website written in PHP. and many programs written in Python. The communication between the components is messy. os.system calls are mixed with popen, xml-rpc and others. We would like to make it consistent and portable. We would like to use free software. What are our options? I checked these: - Bonobo is the most advanced, but it can only handle C language - FNORB is good for Python, but not for PHP - OmniORB would be very good for C and Python, but not PHP There are others but they do not support both Python and PHP. Should I implement my own ORB, or do you know a suitable solution? Thank you, Laszlo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
