questions about nameservices

[Hua Ji]

Hi, folks,


I got 2 questions. Thanks for your attention.

1.

"omniORB Nmmeservice is centralized ?!"

1.1 Is there only one Nameservice daemon in a "omniORB" domain? Is it proper in 

terms of performance if the numbers of clients asking Nameservice are too huge:)

1.2 Of course, we can fork some other Nameservice daemons in a distributed 

environment(eg., intra-net), but it means different users  will "see" some

different name contexts in its local configuration file(for example, it is 

/etc/omniORB.cfg under UNIX). Each of Nameservices daemon will be only 

responsible for its own name context(service database). So a question arises: 

Can these Nameservice daemon co-operate based on a protocol(eg. x.500)?


For example, client1 issue a service(Service_x) query to Nameservice daemon 1. 

However, Serverce_x is registed in another Name contest mainytained by 

Namerservice daemon 2. So client can't get IOR of Service_X if Nameservice 

daemon 1 and Nameservice daemon 2 can't co-operate with each other.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

2. How can omniORB interoperate with other half bridge if omniORB Nameservice 
can't implicitely cooperate with other name context maintained by other Name
service daemon?
