What is a real life example of CORBA?

What is an example of a situation where CORBA will be used? Is it just a matter of using an interface language (like Java) to “communicate” with all applications?

CORBA can be used to create a language-independent, O / S-independent distributed system. For example, C ++ developers on Linux could create a shared distributed system from Java to Windows developers. The IDL describes the interfaces that bind two implementations over a common substrate (CORBA).

CORBA is also useful in building a simple old distributed system of objects - it has a rich set of services defined and, as a rule, very well thought out. However, these days - depending on the language - many people have chosen either simpler (e.g. RMI, protocol buffers) or message-based protocols (e.g. HTTP) to create distributed systems, so this is not so common. CORBA suffers from a phased approach (e.g., from security).

You will see a list of real examples of CORBA projects from the site below. http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO-users.html

TAO is one of the most popular C ++ CORBA implementations available today. The project is quite active.

CORBA technology providers were killing each other through incompatible and bureaucratic implementations. Today you can safely consider CORBA as an obsolete technology; that is, use it if you have to deal with components that are already exposed through COBA. Otherwise, adhere to modern RPC / distribution standards such as SOAP, or, even better, REST / JSON.

Unfortunately. To answer your question: CORBA was supposed to be SOAP, REST and others today. Real life examples of the latter are examples of things taken with the former.
