Corba on the VU


in construction
A general introduction (and lots of material) can be found in Sannie's DOT Page.

Practicum OOP 98/99

The ORB of choice for this year is Orbacus/OmniBroker. This ORB supports C++, Java, and even Prolog. See the hello world example in /home/eliens/hush/corba/examples/universe.

A preliminary installation of the Orbacus ORB is in /home/eliens/hush/corba/*OB*.

Practicum 97

For the practicum OOP 97 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 http://www.orbix.com/Orbix/arch/

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.
