This is a short summary of our discussion (Catherine, Kazuki, Dorothea)
about the design and implementation of a Java based CHAIMS native
I/O-megamodule by Kazuki and Dorothea.

Goals:
1) Find out how to integrate Java modules into Corba and CHAIMS.
2) Find out requirements and define interface of I/O-megamodule.
3) Develop I/O-megamodules (in several steps).


Tasks:
- Learning Java ==> see tutorials and documents on WWW-page of SUN:    
                    http://java.sun.com/docs/
                ==> in case of difficulties some people of the Lore-
                    project (==> Jennifer) might be able to help
- Making simple Corba-example with a Java-server that offers the 
  two services "put_string" and "get_string"
                ==> Java Idl should allow us to integrate a Java- 
                    server into a Corba environment (see also 
                   
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/idl/)
                ==> we have not yet figured out how it really works 

- Developping a  first version of a Java based CHAIMS native I/O-
  megamodule (similar to the math megamodules) that simply allows to 
  input and output strings.

- Dorothea: Suggesting requirements for and interface of the 
            I/O-megamodule (this involves also getting to know ASN.1 
            and the architecture of the CHAIMS-software).
            ==> to be discussed in a CHAIMS-meeting
            
Any comments welcome,
Dorothea
