[omniORB] omniORB over SSH w/ port forwarding?

[Dietmar May]

Is it possible to use omniORB with SSH using the port forwarding feature of
SSH?

In order to do so, all messages would need to go through a single port, and
it must be possible to specify to both the server and the client which port
to use.

It appears that the server side port can be controlled by the Endpoint
omniORB.cfg entry. Specifying the client side seems less clear.

So, any pointers on how to use omniORB with SSH would be appreciated.

Some related questions:

If the Endpoint is set to, say port 12345, and an initial object reference
is registered with the Naming Service (omniNames), will a client program
receive the full connection information in the IOR for that object; that is,
will the client program be "told" to connect to port 12345 when it resolves
that initial IOR?

If so, then will all other objects obtained from this initial reference also
provide port number information in the IOR? That is, will all subsequent
traffic also occur using port 12345?

Would this work with Java clients?

Thanks,
