RE: [android-developers] Android & Corba

An ORB ships with Java--has since 1.2. Find a Java ORB tutorial, give that a
shot. My guess is it'll work as long as you're asking it to be a
client--asking the Android device to be a server will probably fail for all
the reasons Mark lists below.

Java RMI/IIOP should also work, as would RMI/JRMP, which is probably easier
to write.
