Name
orbd: Naming Service Daemon — JDK 1.4
Synopsis
orbd -ORBInitialPort <ns-port> [ options ]
Description
The orbd
tool is a
server daemon that runs a CORBA Naming Service.
It’s a replacement for the
tnameserv
tool, which is still provided as part
of Sun’s JDK (described later).
orbd
supports both transient and persistent
CORBA servants running within its Naming Service. For transient
naming services, orbd
can be used in a similar
fashion to tnameserv
. The Naming Service is
started and told to listen on a particular port using the
-ORBInitialPort
option, and CORBA servants are
registered directly to this Naming Service on the given port. These
servants are transient, in the sense that their references in the
Naming Service last only for the lifetime of the
orbd
process.
To access the persistent services of orbd
, you
must use servertool
(described later in the
chapter). The orbd
daemon has a persistent
reference manager internally and a database of persistent references.
The daemon can use these to reinitialize a servant if it dies or to
reinitialize a servant reference if the orbd
daemon dies and is restarted. On their own, CORBA servants can access
the default transient services of orbd
, but
servertool
can invoke orbd
’s persistent reference services using an
internal protocol between itself and orbd
. To
make a CORBA servant persistent, register it with
orbd
using the servertool
command interface.
To start the orbd
daemon, run it from the command line with (at a minimum) an initial ...
