I'm a bit confused as to when you should use Java IDL and RMI/IIOP.

My understanding is that:

you should use Java IDL when you wish to access a CORBA server

you should use RMI/IIOP in an EJB application server when you wish to service requests froma CORBA server.

Is this correct? Can't RMI/IIOP access a CORBA server as well?

Any cleaing up of the distinction between Java IDL and RMI/IIOP would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

I too had the same problem. The easiest way to know which to use is

If you need to communicate with a CORBA client from Java or vice versa then you use RMI-IIOP

If you want to access CORBA services through Java use Java-IDL.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Viren.
