Hi,
I'm trying to use Lisp (ACL 5.0) and Java together with CORBA using the
ILU orb from xerox parc.  I was wondering if there was any way to
synchronize methods in lisp (something like a classical producer
consumer model).  If there is, any example code snippets would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

There are several. Read chapter 12 of the user manual. It includes a
multiprocessing example. Some useful functions:

mp:make-process-lock
mp:with-process-lock
mp:process-wait
