'Is there a replacement library for CORBA in JDK 11 [closed]

JDK-11 will remove a lot of older parts of the JDK (JEP-320). For some of them (e.g. JAXB) functionality will be provided as regular library. You simply add another dependency and everything works fine again.

But not so for CORBA, because

There is no significant interest in developing modern applications with CORBA in Java

I am however in the painful situation of needing to maintain older applications that still require CORBA while still wanting to update to JDK-11.

Is there a replacement-library out there or another good way of migrating to JDK-11 without removing the CORBA functionality of these applications?

Solution 1:[1]

this dependency could be used in JDK11

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.corba</groupId>
            <artifactId>glassfish-corba-omgapi</artifactId>
            <version>4.2.1</version>
        </dependency>

I haven't moved to Java 11 yet but I always had problems with the Java CORBA implementation anyway as it was incomplete and didn't support all the Object methods defined in the standards, didn't support ssliop, etc. etc. I always replaced it by placing th JacORB OMG jar in the endorsed directory and setting the system property to pont to the JacORB orb:

-Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=org.jacorb.orb.ORB -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=org.jacorb.orb.ORBSingleton

BTW. I do not agree that ""There is no significant interest in developing modern applications with CORBA in Java" after all what is J2EE sitting on?

Solution 3:[3]

JDK 11 is fully supported by all of the ORB's supplied by Micro Focus.
