Spring cleaning CORBA.

Hello. I bought a few CORBA books for C++ when I was given a project
to do, but the project was cancelled early and most of my CORBA books
sit on my shelf collecting dust for several years now.

I need to clear my shelf for new programming books and new technologies
to gather dust. I'm wondering if I should get rid of these CORBA books
or not?

I guess what I'm asking is whether it's worthwhile to put the time to
learn CORBA or has CORBA been supplanted by better/simpler new tech,
which is worth learning first before dusting off the CORBA covers?

Anyways thanks.

On the web, COBRA has obviously been supplanted by new buzzwords
such as SOAP. But I am sure that there remains a number of
application domains that still rely on it.
In what field are you working?

In any case, this question belongs to comp.object.cor ba ,
not in this NG dedicated to the C++ language.

With XML becoming the de facto data description standard, I am extremely surprised that there is no movement towards standardizing an xml library API for use with C and C++. Personally I have been working with libxml2 (www.gnome.org) for a while now, and I am quite comfortable with it. I believe that libxml2 is a good start, but I think a slimmer version of libxml2 should be standardized. Any thoughts?

Hi, I heard that CORBA/TAO is not only overkilled for most of client/server appplication, it also has serious compatibility problem with its older version. CORBA/TAO tend to be a general purpose C++ library, but it ends up not useful for specific application. It seems that use other specific libraries like botan/cryptopp, regexx, sockets, xml libraries could build a much more reliable application and thus easier to maintain in the long...
