Description
Resolution:
ORBs were specifically intended to embrace legacy systems and towards this multiple language mappings are being defined. Even if the specific language mapping is not defined by the OMG, we can still make it work because languages themselves can bridge each other (e.g. FORTRAN can call C, C can call C , C can call C etc.). The legacy application can be treated as a server/client application and can have a small API portion written in C which uses the ORB machinery.Hence, when the legacy program needs to access the ORB functionality, it can call the C API or when the legacy program needs to be called upon as a server the C API portion can behave as the ORB server code which will then map the data and dispatch to the legacy functionality
