Overview
IIOP.NET allows a seamless interoperation between .NET, CORBA and J2EE distributed objects. This is done by incorporating CORBA/IIOP support into
.NET, leveraging the remoting framework.
IIOP.NET is released under the LGPL license.
IIOP.NET was born on May, 2 2003, and grew from a small experimental project to a stable and useful application, mostly thank to the great feedback and dedication of our growing user's community.
Features
-
Tight coupling between distributed objects in .NET, CORBA and J2EE;
components on each platform can act in either client or server role. - Tranparency: existing servers can be used unmodified, without wrapping code or adapters.
- Extensive coverage of CORBA/.NET type mappings.
-
Native integration in the .NET framework;
IIOP.NET is directly based on the standard remoting infrastructure.
Requirements
For using this channel you need the following
- either Microsoft .NET Framework 1.x / 2.0 (at least beta2) or Mono 1.1.7 or better
- a CORBA 2.3 ORB peer like OmniORB, Sun JDK Orb, JacORB, IBM Websphere, ....
