Is there any support for Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) for Ada 95?
OC Systems sells a CORBA Ada product; it is “Standard equipment” with their PowerAda compiler. Rational, and OIS are also planning on selling CORBA products for Ada. Objective Interface Systems, Inc. (OIS), MITRE, and DISA have been working on a mapping from CORBA IDL to Ada 95 for about six months. Bill Beckwith (Bill.Beckwith@ois.com) will send a recent copy of the mapping document to any interested parties. Note that CORBA IDL to Ada 95 mapping specifies a mapping, not a binding. This will put Ada 95 on equal footing with the C++ and Smalltalk products. (except that, of course, the Ada mapping is cleaner ;-).
