All of the source code is there, it's just that some of it needs to
be generated. If you build the package with ant, the idl files will
be compiled to create the source fiies that are missing.

But those source files really won't help you with what you want to
do, they are the sources for how the CORBA mechanism handles the
objects between the server and client.

Since you want to cache RPF data files on the applet, you should
definitely use the RMI mechanism. All you need is a modified
CRPFClient and CRPFServer that use the RMI mechanism instead of the
CORBA mechanism. The CRPFClient is the object that implements the
RpfFrameProvider interface, you just have to design your RMI
mechanism to support those methods. Then, you modify the
CorbaRpfLayer to use your client RpfFrameProvider instead of the
CRPFCient.

BTW, everyone that receives openmap_at_bbn.com mail also receives
openmap-users_at_bbn.com mail, so you don't have to send mail to both
lists.
