[omniORB] Re: omniorb and java

[Armen Yampolsky]

In working with Sun's Java CORBA libraries (Java IDL) client-side, we
have noticed another issue: Although setting the
omniORB::idleConnectionScanPeriod on our server gives us control over
omniORB's connection shutdown scheme, it is not a complete fix. Since
the omniNames service runs in its own process, it is not affected by our
settings and uses the default hard-coded 30 second scan period. You will
find that addressing it from a java ORB will fail after a >60 second
delay. We simply altered the omniNames.cc file in order to allow us to
set the timeout via command line.

This may be a simple but very helpful addition to omniORB. IMHO, it
would give it a consistency (why can we set the timeout for one process
and not another?). Could we convince the developers to add it?

Cheers,
-Armen
