PrismTech's Total CORBA Solution consists of the following main
components:
- OpenFusion TAO C++ ORB distribution
- OpenFusion JacORB Java ORB distribution
- OpenFusion OpenFusion CORBA Services
It is therefore possible to create CORBA applications which have the
following flavours:
- Pure JAVA/CORBA applications using a combination of OpenFusion
CORBA Services and OpenFusion JacORB Java ORB distribution.
- C++ applications using a combination of OpenFusion TAO C++ ORB
distribution acting as a client to the OpenFusion CORBA Services built
against JacORB.
- It is also possible to create pure C++ applications using
OpenFusion TAO C++ ORB distribution without using any of the OpenFusion
CORBA Services. However, by default the only C++ CORBA service that is
distributed with OpenFusion TAO distribution is the Naming
Service.
In order to ensure interoperability between TAO and JacORB it is
recommended that OpenFusion CORBA Services are used. The development
process using TAO, JacORB and the OpenFusion CORBA Services is
illustrated in the following diagram.
OpenFusion TAO 1.4 distribution was specifically designed to be used
with the OpenFusion CORBA Services. It therefore has a number of specific
characteristics:
- The only native CORBA Services that are bundled with the
distribution are the TAO COS Naming Service and the TAO COS Event Service.
- The C++ client-side stub library for the OpenFusion CORBA Services
is pre-built and bundled with the distribution.
- A suite of C++ examples designed to illustrate the main features
of the OpenFusion CORBA Services is included.
