Earlier this week, an opinion piece I wrote was published on the Loosely Coupled site, which is a great source of information about architectures, approaches, and products in the middleware and integration space. The article, entitled "CORBA In a Loosely Coupled World," discusses how existing CORBA applications can be successfully integrated into the larger enterprise via CORBA bindings for WSDL. Many thanks to Phil Wainewright for publishing the article on his site.

We have done some research works regarding to 'CORBA to WSDL/SOAP interworking' [CORBA-WSDL]specification. It also defines a mapping between CORBA IDL and W3C WSDL. And very glad to see the CORBA-and-Web-Service related works keeps going on very well in OMG.
I am afraid that the underlying mapping machenism of [CORBA-WSDL] and this newly proposed one must be quite similar, though the first one employ an bridging/intermediate/wrapper way while the latter do not.
The most commonly used transport protocol of Web Service is HTTP today. We must do the protocol tranform, the type transform and some other tran-*, no matter we use bridge or not, mustn't we?
