[jacorb-developer] JacORB 3.3

[Phil Mesnier]

Hi Timothy,

There is a new section in the Programming guide covering integration with the TAO IMR. I think the capabilities related to the naming service are more implicit and just improve cooperation with the enhanced TAO NS. 

Note that the corresponding TAO features are only available in TAO 2.2.0 or newer, or the commercially supported OCI TAO 2.2a. OCI's TAO Developer's Guide 2.2a covers the new IMR and NS features in detail.

Take a look at $JACORB_HOME/demo/tao_imr.
