[omniORB] omniorb, C++ and java question

[Jason Stelzer]

Hello,

Sorry that this is slightly off topic.

I am attempting to allow a legacy system talk to an ejb via a C++  
library.

We're using Ejb3 and java 5 in jboss 4.0.5 on the server side of  
things. I'm planning on using omniorb on the client side.

My problem and question is this. What is the optimal way to create  
the IDL for making the calls? Most of the discussion of this topic is  
pretty old. I believe that rmic (the idl generator in java) simply  
doesn't know about annotations as the idl it generates is essentially  
empty. Is there another IDL generator I should be using? Writing the  
IDL by hand for the ejb, its parent classes and other objects it uses  
seems excessive. I could always create a bean just to support the  
client with only methods I strictly need exposed.

Thanks for any insights/advice.
