[omniORB] omniorb and custom proxies

[Stefan Seefeld]

hi there,

a long while ago I read about custom proxy objects
to be used with omniORB. What's the status of this ?
Is there currently a way for users to plug in their
own proxy factories ? I'd like to play with a couple
of ideas I have that require the location transparency
paradigm to be relaxed a bit, i.e. I'd like to downcast
from _ptr/_var types to the servants, but without the
overhead such an operation usually incures when following
conventional CORBA paths.

Thanks for any pointers !

Stefan
