1. Introduction
  StarCCM 1.0 is an OMG's CORBA Component Model(CCM) implementation in
c++ language. This software is developed by StarCCM Group of StarMiddleware.net 
(www.StarMiddleware.net).

  This version provides service bean, session bean, entity bean, 
corresponding containers and deployment tools. All codes are compiled 
for OB-4.1.0 and JTC-2.0.0 successfully. This version also includes an 
idl3 compiler and a cidl compiler, which resident in ccm\bin directory.
You can use idl3 compiler to generate CIF(Component Implementation 
Framework) files. It also can generate an idl version 2.4 mapping which 
will be used to generate ORB specific stubs and skeletons.
  We have integrated OTS (Object Transaction Service) and PSS(Persistant
Service) in CCM application server. OTS and PSS implementations are in 
individual subdirectory of current one. There is a PSDL language compiler 
in pss\bin directory. The OTS is only for postgres. We have modified postgres
implmentation to supports XA interface which is needed by two phase commit 
protocol. Enhanced postgres' implementation is shipped in corresponding 
subdirectory.
