how to develop C++ CORBA client to talk to simple EJB in Jbo

[jonasj]

Now that I got simple Helloworld EJB working. I need to develop
simple C++ CORBA client to talk to Helloworld EJB. In this case I cannot package C++ CORBA client in EAR file that is deployed in Jboss. I need to use the CORBA IIOP protocol between EJB and C++ client. So I figure I will have to change EJB to use CORBA instead of RMI-IIOP.

Any pointers how to do that under Jboss?

RMI/IIOP is Corba. The default in jboss is RMI/JRMP

If you look in conf/standardjboss.xml you will see a invoker binding for iiop.
You just add a jboss.xml to your deployment that says use that binding.
Here's an example from the testsuite:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jboss>
 <enterprise-beans>
 <session>
 <ejb-name>StatelessIIOPSession</ejb-name>
 <jndi-name>IIOPSession</jndi-name>
 <configuration-name>Standard Stateless SessionBean</configuration-name>
 <invoker-bindings>
 <invoker>
 <invoker-proxy-binding-name>iiop</invoker-proxy-binding-name>
 </invoker>
 </invoker-bindings>
 </session>
 </enterprise-beans>
</jboss>

See docs/dts/jboss_3_2.dtd for all the config options.

You need to start jboss in the all configuration to make iiop/jacorb available.
i.e. run.sh -c all
