Hello Airat. This issue had been discussed on roottalk several times. I do not think one can say something new at the moment. Would you mind to try http://root.cern.ch/root/Search.phtml with keyword "corba". >I have noticed that the class dictionary in Root is very > similar to object > technologies implemented in CORBA and Microsoft's COM/DCOM. > Why Root uses > its own technique but doesn't use CORBA or COM? There is > free CORBA > implementations ported on many platforms (such as TAO). Anyway the main difference is clear (or course there are many "pro" and "cons" to last this discussion forever): - ROOT / CINT technique doesn't require a separate language (IDL) to describe an interface. - ROOT/CINT dictionary is to provide "command line" interface first of all. Can you image someone typing "CORBA" commands to plot histograms. Hope this helps, Valery
