[omniORB] corbaloc

[Peter Rapier]

Hi,
Its the server side I need to work with.  I have omniOrb2.6 on the server
but clients using it are being created with the newer products that include
corbaloc.

There are two aspects to support for corbaloc. On the client side,
string_to_object need to understand the corbaloc and corbaname URI
formats. That bit should be relatively easy to back-port to omniORB
2.6. On the server side, you need to be able to create object keys
with simple string names, like "NameService". That bit would be very
hard to support in omniORB 2.x.

To do the client-side bit, you should look at
include/omniORB3/omniURI.h and src/lib/omniORB2/orbcore/uri.cc, which
is where most of the corbaloc work is done.

Cheers,

Duncan.
