Hi

Does CORBA provide a means of finding out from a server whether a client =
is still bound to an object? Reference counts do not fit the bill as =
they just apply to objects in the same address place.

Do you have to model this yourself? For example, create a registration =
interface where a client registers and provides a callback that the =
server can use to check that the client is still about.

I can see that some ORBs like orbix provides proprietary calls to =
monitor tcp-ip connections but is there a better way to do this?
