We work on the complete CORBA implementation.

The CORBA part, supported by Sun's JDK API 1.3, should work and, if
needed, talk with another CORBA, running on Suns virtual machine up till
JDK 1.4 inclusive.
>Maybe you have some testapps for showing what already works?
There are examples in the folder examples/CORBA/SimpleCommunication.
These include a CORBA server and CORBA client. Client invokes remote
methods of the object, located on the server side. The parameters are
passed and returned. The exceptions, thrown by remote method, are
re-thrown on a client side.
As the example must be simple to install, the Demo.java starts both
client and server threads on the same virtual machine. However it is
possible to start the server (executable class comServer) on one virtual
machine and client (executable classes DirectTest, RequestTest) on
another virtual machine, using another CORBA implementation. Hence it is
simple to test interoperability with Suns JDK 1.4 and be sure in correct
understanding of the OMG specifications.
We also already have CORBA naming (CosNaming) service that returns the
object address in response to the object name. The example in
examples/CORBA/NamingService shows how to use it. Our implementation is
also talking rather friendly with the Suns jdk 1.4 naming services, both
transient and persistent.
Also, there are numerous CORBA tests in the Mauve, including the third
party tests from the former cost.omg.org project (Free CORBA testing).
In these tests, server and client also starts on the same virtual
machine. However I always verify the functionality starting one side on
Suns and another on ours CORBA implementation.
The more detailed summary of the implemented features is placed on the
NEWS file on the CVS.
