To install the adapter for CORBA, you must confirm that the necessary adapter prerequisites exist in your environment, install the integration broker, and run the adapter installation.
Before you install the adapter, confirm that all the environment prerequisites for installing and running the adapter are on your system. For detail, see Adapter environment.
Installing the integration broker, a task that includes installing the WebSphere business integration system and starting the broker, is described in the documentation for your broker. For details about the brokers that the connector for CORBA supports, see Broker compatibility.
For details about how to install the broker, see the appropriate implementation documentation of the broker you are using.
For information on installing WebSphere Business Integration adapter products, refer to the Installation Guide for WebSphere Business Integration Adapters, located in the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Infocenter at the following site:

When installing the connector on a Windows or AIX platform, note that Installer will ask you to specify the directory pathname where the IBM JDK 1.3.1 SR5 is located (as explained in JDK software, this software is a prerequisite for installing the connector for CORBA).
Make sure that you have the directory information readily available so that you can provide it during installation. Otherwise, you will have to prematurely cancel out of Installer while you locate the JDK directory on your machine, and then re-run Installer from the beginning.
The adapter provides the following script that you can run to obtain the pathname of the JDK home directory:
