I would like to join the group doing ORBit.
My name is Frank Rehberger, Berlin, at the moment I do implement a CORBA 
binding for Mozart-OZ based on ORBit.

As bindings for most scripted languages (perl, python) did realize 
bindings by interacting directly on GIOP, I did implement an 
intermediate interface for ORBit to connect those languages hiding GIOP 
interaction. Data conversion is done on stack using user-defined 
interfaces. Creating data-trees while demarshalling is done using 
user-defined factory methods that invoke script language  memory 
management. method invocaion is seperated into request and response.

Now, the transport layer can be hidden without any restrictions to perl 
or python bindings.

The implementation reuses as much code of ORBit(0.58) as possible.
Data conversion works hand in hand with
ORBit_TypeCode_demarshal_value(..) and
ORBit_marshal_arg(..).


Stub invocation will work soon, later this interface will be extended to 
offer skeleton hooks.


Greatings, Frank
