[omniORB] Question about ORB_init

[Randy Shoup]

You should usually ask questions to the mailing list.  You are more
likely to get a quick response that way.

In CORBA, the client does not explicitly know where an implementation
object resides.  This information is encapsulated in the IOR (object
reference).  There is no explicit initialization you have to do to the
ORB in order to connect to and use implementation objects on other
machines.  Even in the local machine case, you do not tell the ORB "I
want to connect to my local machine".

As long as you have object references to object A on your local machine
and object B on a remote machine, you should be able to simply invoke on
those object references, and CORBA will do the rest.

Perhaps you should take a look at the OmniORB user's guide or the CORBA
spec?
