TAO is a freely -available, open-source implementation of a CORBA 2.x-compliant ORB -that supports real-time extensions. Please see -www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO.html for more information on TAO. - -Detailed information on this version of TAO is available in the -$TAO_ROOT/docs subdirectory in HTML format. - -The current release of TAO contains the following components: - - * An ORB Core based on ACE C++ components. This ORB Core provides - 3 concurrency models: (1) Reactive, (2) Thread-per-Connection, - and (3) Thread-per-Rate (which is optimized for certain types - of deterministic real-time systems). - - * A highly optimized version of the SunSoft IIOP protocol engine. - - * An implementation of the Portable Object Adapter (POA) - specification. - - * An IDL compiler, based on the SunSoft IDL compiler. This IDL - compiler can generate compiled or interpreted stubs/skeletons - that use TAO's optimized IIOP protocol engine. In addition, - TAO's IDL compiler generates stubs/skeletons that support both - native C++ exceptions and the original CORBA::Environment - approach. - - * A Real-time Scheduling Service that determines the priority at - which Client requests are dispatched by the ORB. - - * A Real-time Event Service that dispatches CORBA events in - real-time. - - * Implementations of the CORBA Naming Service, Trading - Service, Concurrency Service, Audio/Video Streaming Service, - Property Service, and a Logging Service. - - * Many tests illustrating how to use TAO and measuring - TAO's performance. - -We've gotten TAO to interoperate with other ORBs (e.g., Orbix, -VisiBroker, miniCOOL, and CORBAplus), so we're confident that its -implementation of IIOP is robust. We're currently working on the -following features for TAO: - - * A highly extensible, highly optimized set of request - demultiplexing strategies that provide constant time lookup of - servants based on object keys and operation names contained in - CORBA requests. - -We plan to release these features throughout the fall of 1998. You -can keep track of our progress online at URL - -www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/TAO/docs/releasenotes/ - -A quick build note for users who have used ACE with other ORBs: -linking TAO with a version of ACE that must also be linked against -another ORB vendor's library, e.g., liborbix.so, will produce -undefined and most likely unpredictable and erroneous results. - -We welcome suggestions for improvement, bug fixes, portability -enhancements, etc. and will strive to integrate correct bug fixes -quickly! The current release has been tested extensively, but if you -find any bugs, please report them to the ACE mailing list -ace-users@cs.wustl.edu using the $TAO_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM. - -Thanks, - - Douglas C.
