Binding for CORBA

Jeff Wood

9/6/2006 9:14:00 PM

I've seen a number of projects over the years that were trying to hook
up a CORBA orb to Ruby ...

I'd really like to see that happen ...

I mean, take Orbit2 for instance, they provide C, C++, & Python bindings
...
And, there are others, that have done the exact same ...

I very much need access to a corba object network from my Ruby code (
I'm supporting some legacy apps that aren't going to get rewritten ) ...

I know I can, if I take a lot of time, write the Ruby->Orbit2 ( or which
every orb people want to bind... ) binding myself ... But, it's not my
forte. There are a LOT of people out there that have done work on
implementing bindings, and I see this as something that is definately a
+ for people that are trying to use Ruby as that enterprise glue.

I know a lot of people are all about SOA and REST/SOAP etc ... but,
there are apps out there that just AREN'T coded that way ....

Anyways, if I can get some guidance, I'd very much appreciate it ... I
kinda need it and feel y'all are the best people to ask.

Let me know what you think / how you feel.

Ciao for now.

Enterprise Integration with Ruby[1] suggests using a Ruby Java Bridge
to use a Java CORBA client from Ruby code.

You may also just want to look at running JRuby, which would give you
direct access to all the same CORBA stuff as well as the rest of
Java-land libraries. www.jruby.org

I absolutely love the work that people have done making jruby work.

I had thought about using jruby, and the thought of having to re-implement all
of the rest of the stuff that I have through Ruby libraries ( other company
specific bindings & technologies ) would take just as long or long as doing a
binding to omniORB or Orbit2 ...

Who knows, I may just snarf the source to fnorb and look into porting the code
to ruby... Since I still haven't written any bindings for myself, I don't
know if that would easier or not than simply doing the binding.

Anyways ... thank you for the input.
