We'd like to interface to a C++ app using CORBA. From Forte's
documentation, it appears that they're real strong on ObjectBroker. Can
you interface using CORBA implementations from any other supplier?

Don:
What you said about Forte support for Visigenic and Iona is true --
the WebEnterprise does
allow a client written in Visigenic's Visibroker or Iona's OrbixWeb to
call a Forte service object.
My question is whether visa-versa is true: can Forte service object call
an IIOP client? i.e.
through a callback mechanism. Do you know whether this is technically
possible? Has any
one verified that?
Thanks.
Stuart Ngai.

Stuart,
This is technically possible and Forte has some technical notes
describing how to do this. The example demonstrates how a Java
applet that registers an anchored Java object with an ORB and
passes the object reference to a Forte service object which keeps a
pointer to it for subsequent invocations. That is the call-back
mechanism you are looking for.
Ask for technote 11152 (VisiBroker specific) and 11153 (OrbixWeb
specific).

Neil,
I've done a little demo app in MSVC++ 5.0 connecting to Forté via
Visigenic's VBroker.It seems to work and after the first connect has a
quick response time (less than 500ms). There is a code generator that
generates the server and client stubs from Forté's generated IDL file.
Discard the server stubs and use the client stubs in your C++ app.
Regards,

Neil,
Yes, IIOP is getting to be a pretty popular way of doing it, and we support
ORBs from Visigenix and Iona.
