A discussion paper describing an approach to CORBA/SOAP integration
is available from ftp://ftp.omg.org/pub/docs/orbos/00-09-03.pdf.
The goal is to specify a bi-directional approach as well as a
one-way bridging approach (similar to Rogue Wave's XML-CORBA Link
product.)

Initial submissions are due in December.

Good news.

All I can see on the OMG site tho' is a CORBA/SOAP RFP, ie. CORBA *over*
SOAP; or "support of CORBA semantics over SOAP [to] enable native SOAP
clients to access CORBA services", which isn't exactly 2 way...

I also see there's an RFP for a WMLScript IDL mapping.  That is simply
psychotic. ;)

oops. cleaning up after my mess I guess, ;)
