INTRODUCTION
------------

JavaORB is a CORBA implementation developped in Java. 
It provides mapping for CORBA 2.3.

CONFIGURATION
-------------

To configure JavaORB, you need :

1) Add into CLASSPATH the JavaORB libraries ( located into lib directory ).

2) add to PATH the bin directory of JavaORB

If you are using JDK 1.2, you need to add into your JavaHOME directory the ORB.properties file 
( you will find it in JavaORB directory ). Usually, the JavaHOME directory is C:\jdk1.2\jre\lib. 
If it doesn't work, try this little java program to known where to put ORB.properties :

	public class install
	{
		public static void main ( String [] args )
		{
			System.out.println("Put ORB.properties in "+System.getProperty("java.home")+System.getProperty("file.separator")+"lib");
		}
	}

3) copy the "JavaORB.cfg" into your home directory or the java home directory.


TEST
----

To learn and test JavaORB, you will find an "examples" directory which includes severals samples.
The tutorial directory provides step by step lessons to learn more about JavaORB. You will find
into this directory a documentation to follow tutorial.


TOOLS
-----

JavaORB provides several CORBA services :

	- the Interoperable NamingService ( included with JavaORB Core ),
	- the EventService,
	- the TransactionsService,
	- the PropertyService,
	- the CollectionService.

The last four services are available from the DOG web sites ( http://dog.team@free.fr ).

You can also discover all D.O.G. tools and products :
	
	- JIK, a software installer
	- JavaORB extensions,
	- some news....
	
To use them, read tutorial doc or go to DOG WEB site ( http://dog.team@free.fr ) 
in Application, Ticks, and tutorials pages. You will also find on this site more informations and
examples, tools for JavaORB.
