omniORB3 is a GPL'd Object Request Broker (ORB) which implements
specification 2.3 of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA).
Further information on CORBA can be found at http://www.omg.org/
> TECHNICAL FEATURES:
- C++ language bindings are supported. The mapping conforms to the latest
revision of the CORBA specification.
- Support for the Portable Object Adapter (POA)
- Support for the Interoperable Naming Service (INS)
- The Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP 1.0) is used as the native protocol.
- The omniORB3 runtime is fully multithreaded. It uses native platform thread
support encapsulated with a small class library, omnithread, to abstract
away from differences in native thread APIs.
- TypeCode and type Any are supported.
- DynAny is supported (CORBA 2.2)
- The Dynamic Invocation and Dynamic Skeleton interfaces are supported
- A COS Naming Service, omniNames, is provided.
> FEATURES STILL TO BE IMPLEMENTED:
- Support for IDL type longdouble, wchar, wstring, fixed, valuetype.
> MISSING FEATURES:
- omniORB3 does not has its own Interface Repository. However any CORBA
compliant Interface Repository can be used with omniORB3.
