Hello, I need to develop a CORBA-SOAP bridge that will integrate into JBoss and dynamically translate CORBA calls to SOAP/HTTP calls and vice versa. It must be implemented as fully dynamic component using DSI API on the CORBA side and dynamic WS handler on the Web Services side. We must also create idl2wsdl and wsdl2idl tools to allow developers call WS from CORBA and vice versa.
I prefer re-using some Open Source project and expanding it instead developing my own code from the ground. I am evaluting Yoko for whole week if am I able to use it. Yoko-tools subproject is a good candidate for the converters. Project Yoko has working IDL and WSDL parsers but the problem for me is the binding stuff. I do not understand the whole binding mechanism yet. Yoko-binding subproject is good candidate too. Maybe I could use the binding API toghether with Apache CXF to parse incoming requests and translate them to CORBA or WS respectively. Is it possible to write code that will accept CORBA message or WS message and convert it to WS/CORBA message respectively? Since our component should be fully dynamic I am not sure what I will need yet. What other Yokos components could be re-used in my project? What you suggest to start with? What points in Yoko are expandable? What do you think? Thank you very much for help and tips -- Lukas Zapletal http://lukas.zapletalovi.com
