Hi,

to use the embedded ORB of Netscape, you have to use the VisiBroker for
Java to make the stub classes. But I don't know if there is a way to load
the appropriate classes, if the ORB used by the client is not that from
Visigenic. I'm trying to use the JavaIDL because it's free, but with
Netscape 4.01 it doesn't work.

Bye.
