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](http://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.
