Ken et al, > Since there haven't been any replies on this issue, I'm hoping that > it's just a sign of taking a wait-and-see stance on what we're doing. Yes, you are right. I was waiting to see where we were going. ISO 14750 is a very robust IDL spec. that maps to most languages including Java, C, C++, Smalltalk, Ada, COBOL, TCL, VBasic, and a few others. Most vendors already have IDL compliers on the market, and it is the IDL of choice for the CORBA community. Instead of re-inventing one, why not see if ISO 14705 fits first before inventing a different type of wheel. If it is lacking, it might be easier to modify it in an open process vs coming up with a competitive IDL. With so much going on, using existing specs/technology would allow us to focus on core http-ng capabilities issues and get to market faster.
