OK,
One thing that I'm still fuzzy on is how much to coform to idl's.
Originally I tried to conform to the LSR IDL and use only the given
interfaces. Andrew said he wanted lighter weight objects (which I
agree with fully) and that with these we could still conform to the LSR
spec. I really like Ewan's bioperl IDL, but that's even less like the
LSR proposal.
I guess how question is: in designing classes, how close/far to IDL's
do you have to be to retain object sharing through Corba/other
interface languages? Additionally, how do you make two objects talk
that have different IDL's? One of my problem's may be that I don't
fully understand Corba yet.
Thanks guys.
Brad
