I saw that this book's second edition was published in April/2000 but unfortunately the new author (Steflik, d) has just put his name on the book, 'cos as I could see in the chapter 6 the book hasn't been updated.The chapter 6 describes Java IDL as a simple IDL to Java mapping. But nowadays Java IDL is a full ORB/IIOP implementation. The examples were done using Sun's NEO and Imprise Visibroker ORBs. If the book had been updated it'd be natural to write the examples using the Java IDL CORBA implementation from JDK 1.3.Indeed, the author says :"The examples that follows was made using JDK 1.3, JDBC 2.0, and the Imprise Visibroker ORB."I think that what the new author has done is just use the UNIX sed command like :$ sed "s/JDK 1.1/JDK 1.3/g" prashant'sbook.txtrodela@bigfoot.com
