What is the JBI4Corba Binding Component?

Jbi4Corba is a JBI compliant Binding Component. It allows to map a CORBA service as an internal JBI endpoint. This is simply done by deploying a service unit containing the IDL defining the CORBA service. No coding is required: the IDL is used to generate the service. Having an internal JBI endpoint opens a wide spectrum of possibilities because the endpoint can partecipate to the message streams and the orchestrations that take place inside the ESB. For example the endpoint could be externally exposed as a SOAP/HTTP Webservice.

Jbi4Corba is developed by Imola Informatica s.r.l. which is also providing commercial support for it (see below).
