We are about to undertake a major project which uses CORBA. We are writting a web based share trading system, just getting tooled up at the moment. However this is noT the firms first CORBA implementation, the other was a C++/CORBA application - it runs excellently. I will post more info as project progresses.<br><br>It is more flexible than COM as you can write objects in COBOL or ActiveX (VB, Delphi, Powerbuilder) which talk to JAVA/C++ objects. This is one of the reasons people are starting to use it. You don't need to rewrtie the 30 year old COBOL programs just wrap them with corba.<br><br>Cal
