[omniORB] OmniNotify Idea

[Janet Tvedt]

Matthew,

You don't need a NotifyManager interface.  The interfaces to connect
consumers and suppliers to the notification event channel are already
defined. 

The IDL needs to be compiled into Java.  Then you develop Java-based
consumers and suppliers.  I have a Java implementation for the
StructuredPushConsumer and a StructuredPushSupplier interfaces.
I can send it to you if you are interested.
