Re: AW: [PHP-DEV] CORBA

| hi cimarron! do you plan to implement iiop on your own without using | any external library? Another project i found interesting while | browsing corba resources is http://corbaweb.lifl.fr/CorbaScript/ i am | very interested in the design concepts for that project and would to | stay in contact with you regarding this. regards stefan It depends on what is possible. I think once you have an IOR you should not need any orb-specific library if the orb you're talking to implements IIOP properly. This means iiop could be implemented using php primitives or as a module like php3/functions/{rpc, rpc_protocol}.c . My personal interest in PHP/IIOP involves connecting web servers on FreeBSD machines with resources on non-FreeBSD machines. The goal of my design is to be able to implement presentation logic once in PHP and application logic once in an ORB without worrying about which ORB is used or incurring additional development effort cn the PHP side if the ORB being used is changed. Unfortunately from reading about the problems people are having connecting the various orbs together, I suspect in some cases we might have to have a client module for a specific orb (like we do for the databases). I'm hoping that there is a way to avoid this. Cim
