1.6 Interoperability with Third-Party ORBs

Bootstrapping an Oracle Tuxedo CORBA domain establishes communication between a CORBA application client and the domain. Two bootstrapping mechanisms are available: (1) the Oracle mechanism using the Bootstrap object and (2) the CORBA Interoperable Naming Service (INS) bootstrapping mechanism specified by the OMG.

Support for INS was added in Oracle Tuxedo release 8.0. With the addition of INS, third-party ORBs that use INS are able to interoperate with the Oracle Tuxedo CORBA server ORB.

The following figure shows the interoperability with third-party ORBs.

Note:

The Oracle Tuxedo CORBA client environmental objects continue to be supported in the current Oracle Tuxedo release, just as they were supported in Oracle Tuxedo 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10gR3, 11gR1, 12cR1, 12cR2, and 22cR1.

A CORBA application client uses the Oracle Tuxedo Bootstrap object or the INS bootstrapping mechanism to obtain references to the objects in an Oracle Tuxedo CORBA domain. Oracle client ORBs use the Oracle mechanism, and third-party client ORBs use the CORBA INS mechanism.
