[omniORB] Server & client on the same machine: no network use d ?

[Brenneis, Steve]

Hello Stefan,

omniORB (or any other ORB, for that matter) really doesn't differentiate
between co-located clients/servers and those in different address spaces.
All requests through any ORB are simply routed to the network protocols
stack. The magic of whether the request actually hits the wire or not is
deep in the stack itself. Some network stacks may use shared memory to
implement this, but it is not really germaine to the design of your CORBA
application. I hope this answers your question.

Hello,

if I run a CORBA server and client on the same machine, does omniORB
recognise this and NOT send the method call data via the network, but
uses shared memory ?

This has been passed no to me almost like a rumor, no proof or
anything.

Thank you for more information,
Stefan Radke.
