Well, those wacky Gnome boys have gone and done it again -
you can grab Gnome 1.2.0 from the FTP site. Nat e-mailed me last night to say that it was coming out. As well as the above distro-friendly link, we've got a link for the stable sources ftp site.Update: 05/25 12:25 by H :Hey, I got e-mail from the Gnome folks again - they're going to update the mirrors and everything in half an hour (9 a.m. EDT), so hold off until then on downloading.Update: 05/25 02:12 by H : Check out HelixCode for an update on the release.
As a Java programmer, I would like to play with the Orbit, the Gnome ORB, from a Java program. So far I have not seen any information as to how to do this. I've asked the gnome list and no one there could help me. From what I understand Orbit more or less a standard Corba ORB but it uses some sort of different authentication scheme. Does this make it incompatable with other ORBs, or does it still work? Can anyone provide pointers or information on this?
The difference between Canada and the USA is that in Canada healthcare is a right and gun ownership is a privilege.
The naming service is implemented. Indeed, it is implemented as a reusable library, so you can implement different naming systems. For instance, we have a Desktop naming system running in GNOME in the gnome-name-service process.
The implementation repository has never been part of the CORBA specification, it is only talked about, but no details exist. It is left to the implementation.
In the case of GNOME/ORBit, our gnome-name-server plus the GOAD provide the equivalent of the Implementation Repository.
Further, in GNOME 2.0, we have a more extensible facility called the Object Activation Framework (OAF).
There is no event service available now, nor interface repository (although there are protypes for both of them).
Miguel.
