These are just some notes and links to help me keep a handle on what CORBA currently is, and how it's looking.

CORBA is defined by the OMG (Object Management Group) .  They have a "CORBA for Beginners " page which is a good starting point.

OK, so now I'm looking at applying CORBA.  I'm using the OrbixWeb product from Iona .

I want to see if I can pass a file handle to a CORBA server object so that the file can be written to.  This is as opposed to getting a stream of data back from the server object and then having the client write to the file.  The idea is to cut out any CORBA overhead when writing to the file.  This may not be a good idea, but that's what I'm hopint to find out!
