[omniORB] Server on dedicated port

[Wernke zur Borg]

I also use the omniINSPOA, and it works fine for me.

I guess your problem is the URI that you supply to
resolve_initial_references on the client, could you post it? It should be of
the form "corbaloc::<host>:<port>/<key>".

But the problem could also be on the server, where the INSPOA must activate
your object by calling activate_object_with_id. The OID passed to that call
is obtained from a call of PortableServer::string_to_ObjectId(<key>).

I do not use ORBpoaUniquePersistentSystemIds, I do not believe it is
necessary for this purpose.

Hope it helps.

Subject: [omniORB] Server on dedicated port

I am trying to develop a relatively simple server using OmniOrb on Linux.

I'd like the server to run on a dedicated port.  I'd also like a client to
be able to resolve this server using "resolve_initial_references".
I'm trying to reduce the number of processes running so I'm avoiding the
nameserver.

I have set the server to create an object (with id) using the INSpoa.  I run
the server with the ORBpoaUniquePersistentSystemIds and ORBendPoint Command
line options.  When the server runs, I can see it listening on the desired
port by using "netstat".

I have set an InitRef  entry in the omni configuration file and try to
"resolve_initial_references" in the client.  The
resolve_initial_refererences does return a non-null object, but when this
object is narrowed, I get an error "omniORB: ERROR -- the application
attempted to invoke an operation on a nil reference.".

So, obviously I'm doing something wrong.  Does anyone have any clues?
It would be real nice if someone had a set of example programs which do this
type of operation that work.
