[omniORB] Nailing the port number of an orb...

[Theo Aukerman]

When omniORB (I'm currently using 2.7.1) generates keys, it fills in
portions
of the object key with a time value.  It is this behavior which makes the
key
change every time you restart your server.

You need to pin down the port number using "-BOAiiop_port", and provide a
constant object key when constructing your object.

In the following example of using a constant object key, ISentryInfo is our
IDL
defined interface, SentryInfo_i is derived from _sk_ISentryInfo.


____________code sample_______________
const omniObjectKey SentryInfoKey = {0,0,some value};

SentryInfo_i::SentryInfo_i()
	:_sk_ISentryInfo(SentryInfoKey)		// use constant object key
{
};

Subject: [omniORB] Nailing the port number of an orb...


Hello, I have a situation here where it would be very desirable to have the
IORs of certain objects remain the same even when the application has been
stopped/rebuilt/restarted. 

Is this possible? Is it only the port number that the orb is listening to
for requests that makes the IOR different (or potentially different) from
run to run? 

Kind Regards
