Connecting a Delphi Client to JBoss

[wellington.pinheiro]

Hello,

We are planning to develop a system that will use Delphi & JBoss and I'd like to know if is possible or someone have already done that. We will use CORBA to integrate the client and the server.

Can I have an acceptable performance (something similar than using RMI/IIOP in the standard ways of J2EE)?

I have done an example using a simple session bean using only iiop and connected with a java client, in this scenario I didn't have to create any IDL due to the dynamic stubs that JBoss works. Using a different client than Java I will probably have to define my IDL and create the stubs for Delphi (I don't know if there's another way...) and how do I integrate the definitions on my IDL with my component on JBoss side?

Thanks a lot,
Wellington.

You can use MTDORB (ORB implementation for Delphi and Kylix) http://www.sf.net/projects/mtdorb, see examples demo/jboss in the distributive of MTDORB.

Thanks for your answer Oleg.
I took a look at your ORB implementation and I found it would me help me a lot, but unfortunately I had to solve that problem before your answer...

I developed:

Delphi to/from XML and
XML to/from Java

using a socket. It has its limitations but it's working!!

Thank you.
