Back to the main FAQ page.
1. Can I use JacORB with Visual Age for Java 3.5 ?
Yes, but you should use the latest version 3.5.3. The 3.5 version has an
inconsistent checking mechanism which classes are not replaceable and which are
not.
It is possible to import the compiled classes. It is not sufficient to
add the .jar files to the CLASSPATH because VA cannot resolve references to
classes in external files.
2. Does Version 3.0 work as well ?
Yes, but no JacORB GUI tools are available because they use swing. To import it, just create a new project and import the classes from the .jar files.
3. How can I import JacORB ?
VAJ 3.5 uses JDK version 1.2.2 which already contains an ORB which has a lot
of classes and packages which JacORB also uses. VA does not allow different implementations
of the same class in the workbench, and it is not possible to
have the same package in different projects.
- Use version 3.5.3
- Change the owner of the working area to Administrator
- Create an open edition of the "Java Class Libraries"
- Import the jacorb.jar into this project. You will get a lot of error
messages about files which could not be replaced because VA needs them, but
do not worry, it will work despite of the errors.
- Create a new version of the "Java Class Libraries" and use JacORB !
4. Can I import the sources as well ?
It is not possible to build JacORB from the sources just with VA without
major effort. Just compile JacORB and import
only the source of the classes you need.
5. How can I compile the .idl files with VAJ ?
