Most bindings to CORBA are based on the construction of stubs, which translate a language call into a CORBA invocation. This paper shows an alternative way to build a binding, using the reflexive facilities of an interpreted language. Like other CORBA bindings, this binding allows a program to manipulate CORBA objects in the same way it manipulates local objects. Unlike conventional bindings, however, it is based on the CORBA Dynamic Invocation Interface, mapping its dynamic character to the dynamic type system of the language. In this way, a program has immediate access to any CORBA component, without the need of stubs or pre-defined IDL headers.
