IMHO , spending efforts in CORBA instead of SOAP is an error.
I know a commercial product using CORBA to provide server based financial
analytics. It has taken 5 years of development with endless problems about
the CORBA versions and complex client architecture. In the end the CORBA
interface stays only internally to provide distributed calculation
capabilities but it has been dropped from the desktop for the obvious
problems ( licensing etc ) .
