Extending hush with CORBA was an
an excellent exercise to get acquainted with
Orbix/CORBA technology.
From a designer's point of view,
the hush framework proved to be
sufficiently abstract to allow for
recapturing its design by means of IDL interfaces.
Lacking in the current realization of crush though,
are proper exceptions to indicate possible error conditions.
For making hush CORBA-compliant, we have made a
first step.
To complete the job, however, we need to
explore in what way crush components can be employed
in actual applications.
Evidently, the contribution of this work is
that it shows how to integrate CORBA functionality
with an already existing framework.
In particular the need for client-side adaptors
for resolving the type clash between the 'native' classes
and the CORBA IDL classes has been amply demonstrated.
Enriching hush with CORBA makes crush
a potential competitor of Fresco, the CORBA based GUI toolkit
derived from the Interviews library.
