Corba on the VU
in construction
On the Vu a number of efforts have been made to use CORBA.
This includes experiments with
Orbeline and Visigenic Java Broker,
Orbix
and even a version of
HP ORB
is available.
A general introduction (and lots of material)
can be found in
Sannie's DOT Page.
Practicum
For the practicum OOP
we use
Orbix-1.3,
together with the Orbix-2.0.1 deamon, for C++.
(This solution is necessary due to licensing issues.)
For Java, we use OrbixWeb 3.0.
(Remark: A new version is in the process of being installed, 3/3/98)
An example directory containing running demos
can be found at
file:/home/oo/hush/version/hush-3.0b4/examples.
An experimental version of hush is in development
which is CORBA compliant.
See Corba examples for hush.
Other Orbix-1.3 demo programs can be found at
file:/net/CORBA/Orbix-1.3.5/demos/
More information on the Orbix architecture as
well as a tutorial on how to develop
Orbix applications can be found
at

Remarks
This page is in development, as is the work on CORBA compliant hush,
un the project name crush.
Students that wish to do a CORBA related assignment for
OOP should contact Anton Eliëns
(eliens@cs.vu.nl)
for further information and instructions on how to use the
local Orbix version.
