A CORBA Gateway between CORBA-based applications and an enterprise manager may be configurable to manage various networked objects, such as printers, scanners, copiers, telephone systems, etc., which may be interconnected via networks. CORBA-based manager applications may communicate managed object-related messages, such as events, requests, and responses, with the managed objects through a CORBA Object Request Broker (ORB). The CORBA gateway may translate the manager requests from IDL to PMI requests. Similarly, the CORBA gateway may translate the enterprise manager PMI responses and PMI events to IDL/IIOP responses and events which may be passed on through the CORBA ORB to the manager applications in the form of IDL responses and CORBA events. In some embodiments, the client may choose the format in which to send and receive message information. To provide text based events, requests, and replies, an extension IDL interface may be used.
