JAV2I12 — Obtaining a default ORB

Summary: This item arises from the Java-to-IDL Mapping RFP, but is also of
concern to the IDL-to-Java RTF because it affects the IDL-to-Java
mapping.

There are two places in the Java to IDL mapping spec that imply
the use of a default ORB. One is the toStub method of the
PortableRemoteObject class, and the other is the readObject method
of the javax.rmi.CORBA.Stub class. It is not clear how we can
obtain a suitable default ORB for use in these APIs without either
excessive resource consumption (if we start a new ORB every time)
or violating applet isolation boundaries (if we use the same ORB
every time).
