Q&A

Q1:What ORB products can I use for accessing EJBs from CORBA clients?
A1: CORBA clients can access EJBs in WebLogic Server using the RMI-IIOP protocol. The ORB product that you need to use for CORBA clients to communicate via RMI-IIOP should be compliant with the CORBA/IIOP 2.4.2 specification. Products such as Visibroker Object Request Broker (ORB) versions 4.x and 5.0 from Inprise and Orbix 2000 from Iona support CORBA/IIOP 2.4.2. Apart from vendor products, the Java IDL that is provided with JDK 1.3.1 supports CORBA/IIOP 2.4.2. Because WebLogic Server 7.0 comes with JDK 1.3.1, CORBA/IIOP 2.4.2 support for CORBA clients is guaranteed.
