[omniORB] Persistent IOR

[Alex Gilburd]

Hi,

I am trying to create a persistent IOR for the client which is configured once
and
would need to have the same IOR even if server is restarted.

I understand that I have to set network location and object key to make IOR
persistent,
but I am not clear about correct implementation.

I found one reference in omniORB archives:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/omniORB/archives/1998-12/0008.html

So far I have:
typedef omniObjectKey objectKey;

struct modKeyType
{
 unsigned long hi;
 char cstrKey[8];
};

typedef union {
 modKeyType modKey;
 omniORB::objectKey objKey;
} objectKeyVariant;

server main:
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
 
  objectKeyVariant key;
  key.modKey.hi = 2;
  strncpy(key.modKey.cstrKey, "C2kEvent", 8);

   CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv,"omniORB2");
  CORBA::BOA_ptr boa = orb->BOA_init(argc,argv,"omniORB2_BOA");
 
  CoactiveEvent_impl *ce = new CoactiveEvent_impl(key.objKey);
  ce->_obj_is_ready(boa);
 
  async_var asyncRef = ce->_this();
  CORBA::String_var str = orb->object_to_string(asyncRef);

  cout << str << endl;
  FILE *iorfile = fopen("ior.out", "w");
  fprintf(iorfile, "%s", (char *)str);
  fclose(iorfile);

  boa->impl_is_ready();
}

Could you tell me what else do I need to do, because each run of this server
produces different IOR?

Client is a third party application which needs this IOR, it can be set only
once.


Thanks,

Alex
