Hi!
i have an application in java i want to access data present in c++(in a different machine)through corba.what must i do.

You need to create a distributed object(via CORBA) in the C++ application that exposes the data that you're interested in. On the Java side, you need to connect to this distributed object using a client stub.

Hi!
thanks about that.must i write idl for both java and c++ programs

[Mark Savory]

You write one idl that defines the interface for accessing the C++ application. You use a idl-to-java compiler to generate the client stubs for Java and a idl-to-C++ compiler to generate the server skeletons for C++. I've used the idl-to-java compiler, but I've never used to idl-to-C++ compiler.
