Yes, except that orb.idl is special. You have to use the orb.idl that
comes with the CORBA implementation. You probably don't actually need an
orb.idl, but if you do, you should use the one in the omniORB
distribution.

If the JacORB notification service is an implementation of the standard
CORBA Notification service, you don't need to compile any IDL at all --
you can use the stubs compiled into the COS4 and COS4Dynamic libraries
in omniORB.

Cheers,

Duncan.
