Re: CORBA

[Meskauskas Audrius]

Hello, Robert!

Great!

Well, it is a large work, but potentially it may be wortwhile to try. 
Networks and Internet are application areas where Linux is especially 
strong. The working CORBA would fit finely into Classpath.

My initial plans were to start with TCKind. After we have TCKind, we can 
proceed to TypeCode. After we have the TypeCode, we can write the primitive 
holders: ShortHolder, BooleanHolder and so on. They are necessary for the 
end CORBA user to pass java ints, booleans, etc by reference, where 
required. If we expect the package to work in any way, we simply cannot get 
without them.

In this way I did the SGML DTD stuff in that HTML parser: first defining the 
necesessary constants, then implementing the simple helper classes and 
finally taking the large "major" classes.

I can, however, change my implementation strategy, adapting it to that are 
you and Brian doing. It is importand to co-ordiante the work and not 
implement the same classes in parallel. Also, it may be better to focus the 
efforts writing some segment that could faster show some kind of 
functionality, becoming a subject of tests.

Audrius.
