MICO: An Open Source CORBA Implementation

Many good books have been written about CORBA. Most of theminclude some sample programs that demonstrate the usage of CORBA.One possible use of MICO is to get hands-on experience withthe CORBA technology without paying a lot of money for a commercialproduct.

The directory $(MICO_HOME)/doc/examples/siegel contains thesource code of the examples given in Siegel's book CORBA 3:Fundamentals and Programming (see [10]). The source code wasgraciously provided by Jon Siegel (email:
J.P. Redlich, the author of the book CORBA 2.0 Eine praktischeEinf hrung f r C++ und Java (see [9]), has ported various programsfrom his book to MICO and made them available. These files arelocated in the directory $(MICO_HOME)/doc/examples/redlich/,where the environment variable $(MICO_HOME) denotes the directorywhere you installed MICO on your system. The author hasplaced his demo programs under the GNU General Public License.For that reason, we were able to include the complete sources ofthese programs with this distribution and...
