[omniORB] Initializing an ORB with a given port ?

[James FitzGibbon]

I'm rather new to CORBA, so please excuse me if this is a dumb question. 
I've looked through the omniORB2 User's Guide and header files, but can't
seem to find an answer.

Is it possible to initialize an ORB to a known port on a host ?  i.e. If my
application doesn't lend itself to the CORBA Naming Service and I want to
hardcode an implementation so that on a given host it will always be
available on Port 9000, how do I go about that?

I'm presuming that the existence of the genior utility means that there is
sometimes a need for something like this -- if the ports assigned by the ORB
were always ephemeral, then genior wouldn't have any meaningful uses.

If someone could shed some light on this, or point me in the right direction
to further documentation, I'd appreciate it.

TIA.
