Does CDEV support CORBA?
No support for CORBA is included with the CDEV release, but there are currently two active efforts to use CDEV over CORBA by writing custom CDEV I/O services (an extensibility feature in CDEV). These efforts include work at CERN/PS to talk to an accelerator control system, and in the Jlab DAQ group to talk to the experimental physics data acquisition system CODA If one of these systems becomes general enough and mature enough pointers to it will be posted on the cdev home page. • What support for Java exists? CDEV supports both java applications and java applets. Applets communicate with the control system through the cdevGateway, and applications may use the gateway or native method calls. • How does the Java code talk to EPICS? Support for EPICS is currently through the cdevGateway. This gateway can support thousands of requests per second, and should not be a performance bottleneck (if it were, multiple gateways could be used). The gateway makes calls into the native control system.
