[omniORB] OmniNotify Idea

[bjorn rohde jensen]

Hi Matthew,

  I would say, your analysis is pretty correct:) The
Event and Notification service are usually quite
ordinary CORBA applications, and there is nothing
magical about their interfaces.
  If you want to use omniNotify, which apparently
only builds on unix, the simplest solution ought
to be to build and have it run on a unix system,
since you appear to have several of them available.
Your applications only need to implement the client
consumer/producer interfaces, which any orb can
handle, the actual location or even the implemetation
of the NotificationService should not concern your
clients at all.
  The EventService and NotificationService were
designed with the requirement, that the actual
registration of consumers/producers could be
delegated to a third(or maybe fourth) party. I
am not sure, you really need that sort of thing
in your case. It is most useful for applications,
where clients need to switch between different
event channels.

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn
