You are correct.  Unfortunately I have not been working to closely on
GEAS at a lower level.  Since the business rules are not CORBA objects
rather only the API I havent had to even look at CORBA. :)  Which is the
way it should be for GNUe. :)  I should have said I am not wholly sure,
not wholly understand.

It is just the API.  So the business objects dont do anything for an
IDL.

Its CORBA based but only for transport.  Not every business object.  I
think others address in detail today.
