+# Initializing some CORBA stuff
+
+# Remember SALOME definitions:
+# ---------------------------
+#
+# componentName = Name of the component (a library lib<componentName>Engine
+# should exist with a C function named <componentName>Engine_factory, and the
+# component should be registered in the catalog MEDCatalog.xml).
+#
+# corbaModule = Name of the corba module that contains the IDL
+# specifications of the component (name as defined in the idl file)
+#
+# containerType = Name of the container factory
+#
+componentName = "MEDFactory"
+corbaModule = "MEDCALC"
+containerType = "FactoryServer"
+
+import salome
+if salome.lcc is None:
+ salome.salome_init()
+ pass
+__import__(corbaModule)
+factory = salome.lcc.FindOrLoadComponent(containerType,componentName)
+# The factory is not the main CORBA component of the SALOME module MED
+# (i.e. the engine associated to the active study), but the CORBA
+# entry point for MED fields operations (i.e. a CORBA component
+# reachable throught the LifeCycleCORBA). This entry point is used to
+# get the other SALOME CORBA components required for MED field
+# operations, in particular the dataManager and the calculator
