This directory contains a number of example applications that
illustrate how to program with standard CORBA using TAO.  The
individual directories contain READMEs on how to run the following
examples:

. Advanced

  Contains example code from "Advanced CORBA Programming with
  C++" by Michi Henning and Steve Vinoski with slight
  adaptations for TAO.

. AMH

  Example code that illustrates working of a simple AMH 'Sink-Server'
  and a more sophisticated AMH 'Middle-Sever' that uses both
  AMH and AMI. Sample 'one-button' perl scripts are provided that
  show how to run the servers.

. Borland

  This directory illustrates how to write a Borland C++
  Builder application using ACE+TAO.

. Buffered _AMI

  This is a simple test for buffered AMI calls.  It invokes
  multiple AMI calls.  Due to buffering in the ORB, the calls
  are automatically bunched together instead of being
  delivered to the server upon every invocation.

. Buffered _Oneways

  This is a simple test for buffered oneways.  It invokes
  multiple oneway calls.  Due to buffering in the ORB, the
  calls are automatically bunched together instead of being
  delivered to the server upon every invocation.

. Callback_Quoter

  Illustrates how to implement distributed callbacks using
  TAO.

. Content_Server

  Three examples that illustrate how to program client/server
  applications for downloading large file content via SMI,
  AMI, and the Iterator and Observer patterns.

. Event_Comm

  Another illustration of how to implement distributed
  callbacks using TAO.

. Load_Balancing

  A simple CORBA load balancing service that allows clients to
  treat a group of objects as an equivalence class to improve
  distributed load balancing.

. Load_Balancing_persistent

  A variant of the preceding example that keeps the state of
  the load balancer persistent.

. Logging

  This example implements a simple logging service using TAO.

. mfc

  This is an short example to show how to integrate TAO and
  MFC base GUI applications.

. OBV

  This is a demonstration of the CORBA 2.3 valuetype feature from
  the Object-by-Value specification.

. Persistent_Grid

  This example shows how to store the state of CORBA servants in
  persistent memory.

. PluggableUDP

  This example tests the UDP Pluggable Protocol (DIOP) implementation by
  sending oneway requests to a server.

. POA

  Contains various small examples of POA features based on
  the OMG POA specification.

. Quoter

  Illustrates how to use the Global POA options with multiple
  threads.  This example also shows how to use the Lifecycle
  service.

. Simple

  Contains a number of simple CORBA examples, which also
  illustrate how to write canonical Orbix/VisiBroker/OmniORB
  examples in TAO using standard CORBA features rather than
  proprietary ORB features.

. Simulator

  This is a demonstration of the TAO "Distributed Object
  Visualization Environment" (DOVE), which shows how the TAO
  Real-time Event Service can be used to transport monitoring
  events.
