Hi all,
I've been struggling with an application architecture in which I
can provide a JSP-based web UI and a Cocoa application. I'd like
to build a multi-tier system. Ideally, I'd be using WebObjects
(if WO for ObjC was still around :-( ). However, now my sights
have set on EJB. The web side is a no-brainer, but what's the
best way to access EJB's from Cocoa? My options include:
1) ObjC-to-Java bridge in Cocoa application. This seems pretty
straight forward, although I'm not sure about the
performance/stability of this solution. And I'm not convinced
that Apple will maintain this forever.
2) Use CORBA from Cocoa. I have been looking for info on the OAK
ORB from Paragon Software, but all the links I found are dead. Is
this still around? Has anyone used it? Has anyone used any other
CORBA ORB's with C bindings on Mac OS X? This seems like the best
option to me at the moment, but I need to find a free ORB that
runs on OS X with C or ideally Objective-C bindings and I'm
concerned about EJB interoperability. I know it should work in
theory, but we all know how theories are.
As I understand it, this should be the technically superior route
as RMI/IIOP's (the RPC mechanism to connect to your EJB container)
raison d'etre is to support CORBA.
This sounds like an interesting and "challenging" project into
uncharted areas, so it would be great if you write up an article on
Stepwise on the results (negative or positive).
Cheers
Nat!
