[omniORB] CORBA benefits over EJB model

[Ben Miller]

I know it is a generic CORBA question rather than specifically
omniORB, but I know you lot have experience of using CORBA....

Can anyone think of any practical advantages to starting a new product
from scratch using CORBA rather than EJBs.  The reason is that we are
about to embark on a 3-tier application and I have a gut feeling that
CORBA will be more performant in the long run.  I need to convince the
rest of the team that CORBA is the way to go, but I'm coming up
against "CORBA is old technology now" arguments.

We have no need to link to legacy systems, so there's no _physical_
reason that we couldn't write everything using Java rather than C++.
My benchmark tests have shown that mathematical calulation performance
is better using C++ than Java, but need more ammunition!  Please
help...


Best regards,
Ben.
