How to make CORBA between Java server and C++ client?

Question

I came to know that IDL is used for communication between server and client in CORBA, which is independent of languages.

As far as I know there is a plugin available for Eclipse (for creating the server of CORBA). For C++, OmniORB, Taox and etc.,

Suggest me the best tool and best practice for creating client in C++, which is having less dependencies and very good support for Java Server.

Answer 1

1. Define a remote interface in Java.
2. Generate a server POA, with rmic -iiop.
3. Define a server implementation that extends the POA.
4. Generate the IDL, with rmic -idl.
5. Follow the normal steps for your ORB to write your client given the IDL.
