Flash and CORBA

How do I get AS3 and/or Flex/AIR applications to communicate with CORBA apps?

From stackoverflow
  • I think you need to make some sort of proxy, like a Java server that you connect to. I don't think there are any CORBA libraries for AS3. I could be wrong though...

  • From what I know it is possible to call Java from Flex (at least you get lot's of google results for that :-) )

    Given that I would recommend to do an experiment if you can use a Java ORB (I would recommend JacORB (http://www.jacorb.org/) and see if you can use it from flex.

  • Until somebody writes a CORBA-compliant library for Flex (which you may care to do yourself ;), your best bet may be to build a 'wrapper' web service (accessible via the standard Flex WebService object) that acts as a bridge.
