[omniORB] Re: strictIIOP

[Sai-Lai Lo]

I've overhauled the way configuration parameters are set.

Please get the snapshot from last night (Aug 21) to get the complete set of
changes.

Since the Aug 21 snapshot, there are 4 ways to set a configuration
parameter:

1. From a configuration file (omniORB.cfg) with a new format.
   Have a look at sample.cfg at <top>. It contains all the
   configuration parameters and the explanations of their usage.
   You could copy sample.cfg, change the copied file to the setting
   you want, then set the environment variable OMNIORB_CONFIG to be
   the pathname of the file.

2. From the environment variable. For instance, if you do:
     export lcdMode=1
   or
     export strictIIOP=1
   Then omniORB will start up with these modes enabled.

3. As a parameter list to ORB_init().
     In your application code, when you call ORB_init, you can
     now pass an optional argument containing the parameter strings.

      e.g.
           char* options[][2] = { { "lcdMode", "1" }, { 0, 0 } };
           CORBA::ORB_init(argv,argc,"omniORB4",options);

4. From the command line.
      If your application passes argv to ORB_init, you can
   specify the configuration parameters as:
       ./application -ORBlcdMode 1

One of the new configuration option is dumpConfiguration. If
you do something like this:
    ./application -ORBdumpConfiguration 1
The ORB will dump the full settings when it starts up.

I haven't got round to update the omniORB4 wiki page yet. Will do so
sometime today.

Sai-Lai
