Orbix is a commercial implementation of the CORBA standard. It is a
product of Iona Technologies for which we
have a software license on CSLab Sun Unix machines.1 It lives on CSLab servers at
/usr/local/iona. It provides bindings to C++ and Java.
Detailed Programmer's Guide and Programmer's Reference manuals
are provided in /usr/local/iona/Orbix_2.3c/doc.
[Note: don't attempt to print out either of these in its entirety
unless you have your own printer and paper--each manual is over 400
pages long. In any case you should wait until we do some checking
whether a newer version is available.] There is also an
Administrator's Guide on the server.
IDL and code files for some of the examples discussed in the
Programmer's Guide are included in
/usr/local/iona/Orbix_2.3c/demo.
The Java binding is provided by OrbixWeb. For further information follow the Orbix link on Alan Bivens' web page.
