I once worked with a financial product that used CORBA for distributed processing. One chapter of the dev guide had examples of use that were... Let's say not possible with CORBA... I opened a ticket with the vendor, because of course we were paying a large purchase percentage maint fee. I was not part of vendor selection. The official response from the vendor was "please remove that chapter from the dev guide.". Beautiful!

Before you hate on CORBA I submit that my masters thesis was based on CORBA for distributed processing and that, "horror of horrors" it had solutions for many of today's issues.. albeit implemented with tooling that was lacking. Anyone for a game of what vendors RPC implementation this is based on packet dumps?
