[omniORB] IOR Distributor?

[Frédéric Prin]

Hi Nick,

I just follow the discussion you had with Jennie. I had the same requirement
for my project and I use Corbaloc URI too (on a good Duncan advice!)

My pb was to properly and programatically pass the -ORBpoa_iiop_port to to
the ORB_init() function from inside the main() of the server. I do that by
pushing my strings to argc, argv (seems not very clean to me....)

I saw you use a "magic" 4th parameter of ORB_init that suits my needs ?
> CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv, "omniORB4", options);

is it only available for OmniORB 4 ?

TIA
