 <body>
 This package provides the support of <a href="http://www.CORBA.org">CORBA</a>;
 see <a href="#overview">overview</a> of the implemented functionality.
 <p>
 CORBA a system that applications use to work over networks. CORBA messages
 are binary, not text oriented. They practically cary no "data wrapping"
 information like XML &lt;opening&gt; &lt;/closing&gt; tags. Hence CORBA
 objects easier exchange large amounts of binary data. CORBA can work
 in such data-intensive application areas as telecommunications or radio
 broadcasting. Java programs connect to CORBA objects without care
 about what platform they run on, where they exist in the network, or what
 language they were written in. The remote CORBA objects appear to the
 programmer as the ordinary Java objects and can be passed as
 parameters in both remote or local method invocations.
 </p><p>
 The CORBA processing unit is divided into {@link org.omg.CORBA.Object}
 that is exposed to the client and the servant
 ({@link org.omg.PortableServer.Servant} where the method, invoked on
 object, is finally delegated. It can be multiple objects per servant or
 multiple servants per object. The servant for particular object or
 even particular call can be dynamically chosen at run time using
 {@link org.omg.PortableServer.ServantManager}.
 </p><p>
 All stages of both local and remote invocations on CORBA objects can be
 monitored and modified using {@link org.omg.PortableInterceptor.Interceptor}.
 The interceptors can add an extra data to the CORBA message (these data
 can be later accessed by other interceptor on remote side).
 </p>
 <a name="overview">
 <h4>Overview of the currently implemented CORBA functionality</h4>
 The CORBA implementation in the Classpath project is now a working
 prototype.
 <ul>
 <li>This prototype is interoperable with Sun's implementation v 1.4,
 transferring object references, primitive types, narrow and wide strings,
 arrays, structures  and trees between these two platforms.
 </li>
 <li>The prototype provides interoperable support for the Abstract interface
  and Value types. Those appear in 1.3, being a feature of CORBA 2.3.
 </li>
 <li>The remote exceptions are also transferred and handled as expected.
 </li>
 <li>The support for parsing stringified object references (IORs), both
 Big and Little Endian encoded, is implemented.
 </li>
 <li>The redirection commands works, LOCATION_FORWARD_PERM changing the
 target address until the application is restarted and LOCATION_FORWARD
 redirecting for the current session only.
 </li>
 <li>Both Little and Big Endian encoded messages are accepted. The encoding
 of the sent messages is the same as used in the stringified IOR reference
 of that object or Big Endian, if no such data available.
 </li>
 <li>You can use both request-oriented (based on {@link org.omg.CORBA.Request}
 and stream-oriented (based on {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl}
 invocation models. The current release includes the working examples,
 demonstrating the client-server communication using both methods.
 </li>
 <li>These examples also show,  how to use the Classpath naming service.
 </li>
 <li>The IDL compiler is not yet written (and not even started), but as a
  side effect of the required compatibility, the implementation seems
 accepting the output of the Sun's idlj.
 </li>
 <li>The Portable Object Adapter is already released. For details on POA,
 see the {@link org.omg.PortableServer} package.</li>
 <li>We provide the implementation of the {@link org.omg.DynamicAny}
 package. ORB returns the working DynAnyFactory that produces working
 DynAny's as defined in OMG specification.</li>
 <li>The Portable Interceptor is also complete. See
 {@link org.omg.PortableInterceptor} package for details how to register
 and use CORBA interceptors.
 <li>All GNU Classpath classes in omg.org namespace are newly written using
  the OMG .pdf document (Version 3.0.3, formal/04-03-12).
 </li>
 </ul>
