Middleware between .NET CF client and Java-based server?

Question

Hi there,

I am desperately looking for middleware (may be commercial) that is able to connect compact framework based clients to an application server implemented in Java (regular, not J#).

Currently, the server is exposing CORBA interfaces, but since MidSol seems to have ceased their activities I did not find any other CF-capable ORB.

It does not need to tbe CORBA. We also looked at IceE from ZeroC, but there is currently no support for C# on CE devices, just C++. And going the PInvoke route from C# to C thunks calling C++ is quite error prone. Also handling middleware exceptions is not possible to my knowledge.

I can hardly believe I am one of only a few that is looking to connect these worlds. Do you know of anything I could take a look at?

Thanks a lot,
Mike
