Transport of ROS messages through CORBA

Dear all,

What's the best method for transmitting ROS messages through CORBA.

In other words; my components ports exchange ROS messages. Is it possible to run these components on two different machines and use CORBA as communication transport?

How can I generate the CORBA typekit?

Best regards,
Luca

You can't (yet), so you'll have to hand-code all typekit/transport
related plugins. The closest thing until now is a proposal from
Sylvain to extend typelib such that it can also transport a C++ struct
over ROS (in addition to CORBA). But there is no concrete
implementation/plan going on afaikt.
