Corba?

I’m beginning an evaluation of Corba packages. One interesting possibity is
ACE+TAO. However, it doesn’t seem to build under RTP 6.1. I suspect the port
was done with 6.0. Does anyone know whether it’s feasible to use this
package with 6.1?

Any practical experience with other ORB vendors that might support 6.1?

Thanks,
Marty Doane

Hi Marty,

I’m beginning an evaluation of Corba packages. One interesting possibity is
ACE+TAO. However, it doesn’t seem to build under RTP 6.1. I suspect the port

ACE+TAO doesn’t compile because the g++ shipped with qnx has a bit of
trouble with some programs, possibly due to the Dinkum headers. Mico
has a similar problem.

Any practical experience with other ORB vendors that might support 6.1?

omniORB works well on 6.1, once I set it up for compiling on qnx. ORBit
also works but might be lacking in features compared to other ORBs.
ORBix/E from Iona (www.iona.com) supports QNX and looks quite good, I’ll
probably try it out soon.

Check with Objective Interface Systems (OIS) on current availability of
ORBExpress for QNX 6. ORBExpress is one of the favoured ORBs
in the realtime community.

There was a time when Iona wouldn’t support QNX6, but had old revisions
of Orbix on QNX4 (since they dropped it to tier two support). This has
changed in the wake of data comms alliances. You would have to check
with them for availability.

Thanks Steve. I’ve downloaded the evaluation copy of Iona’s Orbix/E (which
is a renamed and/or derived from ORBacus), and I’ve heard from OIS that
ORBExpress for QNX 6.1 is due to be released this week.
