We have been using omniORB for almost 2 years in our commercial internet
document delivery server (multi-tier distributed web server and
application server, all based on CORBA).  OmniORB performs well, it is
robust, and its quality is extremely high.  When a bug is found, or an
enhancement requested, the open source model brings the resources of the
entire omniORB community to bear.  It is well worth a look.  We have
been very satisfied.
