The CORBA is Dead, Long Live The ... ?
After release of 3-rd version of specification CORBA has passed a lot of time...
Also what further, misters developers, architects and sellers?
For me this question is opened.
Someone will tell:
- Why the heading title says that CORBA has died?
It is possible to answer it the following:
Where industrial high-grade implementation of CORBA v3 (even for languages Java or C ++)? I know only most close approached to realization of enthusiasts of type mico (http: // www.mico.org) or TAO (ACE). Where IBM, SUN or even Borland? Where implementation of PSS (Persistent Service) for C++ ? Without serious players the technology cannot develop...
CORBA can survive only owing to following events:
1. Telecommunication industry will start of use CORBA as core platform (Parlay API, etc).
2. Web-services based on SOAP has some performance issues. It's apply as the HTTP protocol (simultaneous nature) , and text (XML) encoding.

By news from IBM, Sun, ITU-T there can be a new demanded protocol similar functionally on SOAP/HTTP, but based on binary encoding (ASN.1).
Also it is definitely clear, that turn off the Web-services now nobody gathers (see to market of the products on the IT industry)
