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.
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.
