BEA Weblogic Interview Question:

How do an RMI-IIOP application and an existing CORBA object interoperate?

Submitted by: Administrator

If the existing CORBA object has its remote interfaces defined originally in CORBA IDL, then interoperability is not possible. RMI-IIOP applications can interoperate with other CORBA objects only when their remote interfaces are originally defined as Java RMI interfaces.
For example, to interoperate between an RMI-IIOP client and a C++ object you need to:
1. Define the remote interface of the object in Java as an RMI interface.
2. Run rmic -iiop against the interface to produce the stub for your RMI-IIOP client.
3. Run rmic -idl against the interface to produce IDL compatible with the RMI interface.
4. Run a C++ stub compiler against the IDL file to produce the C++ skeleton for your C++ server object.
