Problem: Connecting to EJB from CORBA with Glassfish as AppServer

Question

Hi all,
I was looking and tryieng for days now, but never found a proper solution or how to, to solve my problem:
I have to expose a Remote EJB as Corba Object and provide a set of IDL Files, which can be used by any CORBA Client (i.e. IIOP.NET).
First i tried it the EJB3 way, but everywhere is mentioned that IIOP cann only be used by EJB2.x way. So this ist what i have done so far:
The Home Inteface, as described at many tutorials
package org.ba.services.iiop;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import javax.ejb.CreateException;
import javax.ejb.EJBHome;
public interface KursmanagerRemoteServiceHome extends EJBHome {
    public KursmanagerRemoteService create() throws CreateException, RemoteException;
}The Service Interface:
package org.ba.services.iiop;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.ejb.EJBObject;
import org.ba.entities.Kurs;
import org.ba.entities.Person;
* @author Pocket
public interface KursmanagerRemoteService extends EJBObject{
    public void prepareApplication(long callID) throws RemoteException;
    public boolean resetDataFile() throws RemoteException;
    byte[] getOneMegabyte(long callID) throws RemoteException;
}there are some more methods, but thats not the point
And this is the implementing bean:
package org.ba.services.iiop;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
@Stateless
@RemoteHome(KursmanagerRemoteServiceHome.class)
public class KursmanagerRemoteServiceBean extends AbstractService implements KursmanagerRemoteService, SessionBean {
    @EJB
    Kursmanager km;
    @Init
    public void create() {
    public void prepareApplication(long callID) {
    public boolean resetDataFile() {
         return emptyDataFile();
public EJBHome getEJBHome() throws RemoteException {
        return null;
    public Object getPrimaryKey() throws RemoteException {
        return null;
    public void remove() throws RemoteException, RemoveException {
    public Handle getHandle() throws RemoteException {
        return null;
    public boolean isIdentical(EJBObject arg0) throws RemoteException {
    return false;
    public void setSessionContext(SessionContext arg0) throws EJBException, RemoteException {
    public void ejbRemove() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
    public void ejbActivate() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
    public void ejbPassivate() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
    }Deployed on Glassfish V2ur1
IDE: Netbeans 6.0.1
Does anyone know if this is correct? How do i create the IDLs correctly? Which of the SessionBeanIF Methods have to be implemented (or at all)?
is there no easy way to expose objects for CORBA Clients?
I would appreciate any help..
thanx
Andreas

John,
JDeveloper 3.1 is not certified against OAS 4.0.8.2 - and JDeveloper 3.2 will not be certified against any version of OAS, since Oracle is moving to iAS.
If your project is in its early stages, I suggest that you consider switching to iAS - and you can work against Apache until iAS is available, which will be with JDeveloper 3.2, in the last quarter of this calendar year (2000).
Thanks
Blaise
