Java Corba

It’s been a while since I did any CORBA work - that last time was probably back in the late 90's with the Iona product. So what am I doing with CORBA? I'm re-architecting a few C++ Solaris applications that use the Versant database. The replacement servers will use Java 1.4 and an Oracle database. Its kind of strange to read the legacy code, with the TIE and narrow().
