What are the limitations of using CORBA in an applet/browser?

Standard applets limitations, i.e. your applet can only communicate with the server it came from.

• If your CORBA server runs along your web server, no problem!
• If your CORBA server runs on another box, you will need a "gateway" along your web server. It will accept the IIOP request and redirect it to the right CORBA server. Currently available from both
  • Iona http://www.iona.com for OrbixWeb
  and
  • Inprise http://www.inprise.com/visibroker/ for VisiBroker (IIOP Gateway).
