acdkx_orb implements a CORBA ORB for ACDK Objects. It is designed to fit into the ACDK DMI concept, which means that each CORBA object can be controled by any ACDK DMI Client (ACDK C++, CfgScript, COM, Perl, Lisp, Python, Tcl, Java) and each ACDK Server (ACDK C++, CfgScript, COM, Lisp, Java) can provide its interfaces as CORBA components. Different to official C++ language binding, the

ACDK binding is much more simple. acdkx_orb provides a

acdkmc plugin to generated

static skeletons directly from source (not IDL). For usage with other orbs the

acdkxorbidl can be used to generade IDL definitions from ACDK C++ headers. An experimental

dynamic binding can be used to comunikate via IIOP without any static skeleton.
