EJB -- Anyone have experience with this?

[Stuart Foster]

Another good reason for CORBA is EJB is able to take advantage of it.
So if you wanted to use EJB over CORBA you could. 

There is much information available on how to do this.

Jiva:

Good Point, Jiva!

The reason for my interest is to develop solutions that _RUN ANYWHERE_.
Your observation is good in that COBRA is more of an open standard
than is EJB.  Of course, in this light COM+, the M$ answer to this is
completely at the other end of this spectrum, even though all seem
to have as the main goal the development and distribution of packaged
software components.

We are working on a project to ENABLE our business management
software to be extended using non-proprietary tools and processes.
The SouthWare Excellence Series has 33 modules from which to
choose.  It is very capable as it ships, but we want to be able to
integrate new applications as the technology develops.  An overview
of SouthWare is at http://www.swinfo.com.  This software has been
in development for over 20 years.  It is written in Cobol, which means
it runs on almost any platform we want to use (the most important of
course is Linux).  We do not do MACs or EBCDIC IBM hardware.
