Dear Mico-Develloppers,

In iX 10/2000 is mentioned, that the TAO Orb can load Modules like
the IIOP over SSL  as Shard Library.
I think, things like the Security-Service should be one or more such
modules, because
  - there a more than one possibility to solve
    for example, SSL-Based oder GSSAPI -Based (Kerberos or SESAME) 
    Security-Modules
  - sometimes one does want a small MICO ...

There is the possibility to load modules over the BOA-Mechanism.
But in the Code there must be a ORB::bind .

A good addition could be to specify Moduls other the commandline or
the micorc-File 
like   
   -ORBmodSSL_Cert

the Syntax like
   -ORBmod<modulename>[_<parameter>]

in the Mico-lib Directory there could be then a module like
   mod<modulename>.so

In ORB::ORB_init , one could interpret the commandline and the rcfile
one time , and
  - keep a ORB-Property list (the Options now !)
  - load the modules

The Modulelist should be shared with the BOA-Library-List, so that
modules can loaded with the BOA-Library-Aktivation and the preloading.

In http://www.infnet.verein.de/arbeitsgruppe/komponenten/corba/mico/loadmods.html is \
a example for a testmodule 

Any better Ideas ?

Greetings
  Rudolf
