Hi all
I have to find a way to access som corba APIs on a remote server
(Apachee) from a webservice running on a win2k3 server.

Anyone have a idea as where its a good idea to start looking? so far
all i manage to find is 3rd part vendors selling finished solutions
for this, but that is not an option.

CORBA applications communicate using the IIOP protocol (Internet Inter-ORB).
To build your own solutions, you would need to build a C# application that
supports this protocol. The specifications for IIOP are open, but it will
probably take a long time before you have something useful ready. This is
because CORBA is (in my opinion) a difficult platform.

Is the cost an obstacle to you? Borland is selling its Janeva product which
isn't terribly expensive. But then again, all that is related to CORBA seems
not to be free.

I'd say your best best is either to buy a product for IIOP communication, or
write a (web services) wrapper around the CORBA objects.

At SourceForge.net there are at least three attempts to implement
CORBA/IIOP-solutions for .NET.

- IIOP.NET
- Remoting.Corba
- The harmless ORB

I've been meaning to try them out for some time now, but never found the
spare time to do so.

Maybe one of those is suitable for your project.
