Java 1.5.0 and CORBA

T

Real dumb quiestion here.....

I notice that the latest version of the Java JDK (1.5.0) comes with
its own IDL to Java compiler (idlj.exe).

Could this also indicate that the latest version of Java is CORBA
capable out of the box and that separate ORBs like Jacorb are no
longer necessary?

Hi,

Actually, Java 1.4.2 (and supposedly, even older versions) come with
their own ORB and their own IDL compiler. idlj is not at all new in 1.5.
Just that the Java built-in ORB was never really a high-quality one,
I'm frequently running into problems with it... Let's hope things improved
in 1.5...

So long,
Thomas
