[Simca-developers] Corba question

[Antoine v. de V. <an...@v2...>]

Oops, sent before I was finished. Again:

Hi, I have a question.
At http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/coding-introduction.html#interfaces I
read:

"In a CORBA environment, life is more restrictive and difficult, because you
have inter-process and inter-network communication, something which Mozilla
is not actively using. In a distributed CORBA environment, it is difficult
to change the components of an interface, because you are usually unable to
replace all running systems at the same time. If you want to change
something, you have to define a new version of an interface, but you might
still be required to support the old one."

Is this a problem for us?

I was also reading about Python and found something similar: Python with
XPCOM
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/co-pyxp1

But I guess you are already far with CORBA etc so lets use that, but I like
to know
more about the choices that were made, also to be able to explain it better
to others.

The advantages and disadvantages of the different options.

I'm also looking at other jamming tools myself, to compare them. But because
you
have already done that, could you write some more about the advantages and
disadvantages of those tools too (compared with Simca)? In Twiki for
example:

Thanks,
