[omniORB] Clients/Servers/Persistence?

[Jared Lee Peterson]

I have some interesting questions that I have not been able to answer by
looking through the docs.  It may be that I am not seeing something that
is there, if that is the case then just point me in the proper
direction.  I have clients that need access to objects provided by
servers (of course that is why I am using CORBA).  A lot of these
clients need objects that are of the same type but their attributes may
be set to different values.  My question is:  Is there any way to have
one server service these objects somehow or do they all have to have
their own seperate server.  I am currently implementing things with
multiple servers but I am looking for ways to improve performance but
still get the functionality that I need.  I was reading an Orbix book
that was discussing the interface repository (I know that omni does not
have one) and they had activation mode stuff in their that seemed a lot
like the stuff I am discussing.  The modes allowed you to start servers
differnt ways.  To were one server could service multiple clients or
there could be a server for each client process and etc...  So I don't
know if there is anything in omni that will do what I need but if so I
would love to learn about it.  If not I guess that I will have to look
at coding up my own repository like system.  Again if there is any
documentation that anyone could point me to that would be great.  Thanks
a lot!
