Stephen concurs. :-) Basically CORBA is a couple of levels higher - its good for managing remotely accessible services, value-types, and the back-end machinery for service activation. In fact Avalon is used as the component model in the OpenORB project and I've also used Merlin as the management platform for deployment of CORBA services (for both reference and value based applications).
