[omniORB] About IORs

[Poilpret Jean Francois]

Hi Basma,

I'm not sure you actually answered Cristi's question, which was not =
about IORs for bound objects, but about IORs for name contexts, which is =
not the same, since contexts are recreated by omniNames when it is =
started (I mean, the second and next times), thus, object =
implementations do not need to recreate those context, at least they =
just should rebind their implementation objects.

Looking at the code in omniNames, it seems that its logfile contains =
only the object keys (not the complete IORs, which seems normal =
behavior) for contexts.
When it is launched the second and next times, it reads the logfile, and =
whenever it should (re-)create a context, it uses the saved object-key.
So the answer to Cristi's question is "yes", PROVIDED THAT omniNames is =
always run on the same host (in fact I'm not sure you can change =
omniNames' running location having it use a previous logfile from =
another host, ie, without having it restarting -with option -start - =
from the beginning).

Hope this helps,

    Jean-Francois
