Hi Richard,
We are currently working with IONA's ORBIX CORBA product, on HP-UX. I
understand why HP is taking the time to evaluate options. As with any CORBA
compliant solution, the ORB is the core docking layer for applications, but
the wealth of functionality (for Architecting manageable distributed
solutions) comes with the implementation of CORBA services. Name Services,
Event Services, Trading Services, Security Services, Concurrency, 2-phase
commit, and others are the real measure of a complete CORBA product.
It's no easy task managing the use of these services, so I imagine the CSY
porting investigation has grown in breadth, as the investigation into this
has evolved.
Regards,
Jonathan van den Berg
