[omniORB] CORBA 2.3 standard and fault tolerance

[Ilinykh, Andre]

In our application we use a simple and effective pattern- watchdog. This is
very simple UNIX daemon waiting for another process. If any trouble happens
watchdog restarts that process. All persistant objects keep their data in
memory mapped files, so no data lost. Of course this solution doesn't
provide load-balancing.
Thank you,

"There is no standardized mechanism by which applications can convey their
reliability requirements to the ORB." Quotation from Book: Enterprise CORBA,
Dirk Slama, Prentice Hall.

With couple days of studying i have realized that there is 3 ways to
implement Fault tolerant CORBA system.

1. I wait for the CORBA 3 compliant ORBs (Mmm, can't wait)
2. I pick one of the "expensive" commercial ORBs (Visibroker, Orbix, ...)
3. I have to implement my own replication mechanism, which i don't want to
do.

If you know any more solutions, i would be pleased to see them.
