That sounds good. Are you planning to release it publicly?

It should be easy to make omniNotify work with omniORB 4. The only
changes affecting applications are minor.

It shouldn't be too hard.

An interceptor written in C++ would be able to add and handle the
necessary service contexts to the GIOP traffic. I don't think it's
particularly sensible to allow interceptors to be implemented in
Python, since it would be a lot of work to do the binding, and it
would slow things down terribly.

I think all the APIs are there (or will be very soon) for applications
to add their own Current objects. Again, this would have to be done at
least partially from C++.

Cheers,

Duncan.
