[omniORB] Basic simple question. Can two or more references to different ORBS coexist?

[evgeni.rojkov at durr.com]

Hello Ramon,
looking in the CORBA::ORB_init() implementation in  corbaOrb.cc (ominORB 4.1.7) you will see single instance (the_orb) having reference counting.
So parametrization could be done ones.
But there is no limitation having/accessing servants on all available hosts/ports.
You could access different NameService(s) with omni::omniURI::stringToObject(nameServiceUri) also.

Best regards,
Evgeni Rojkov

CORBA::ORB_ptr
CORBA::ORB_init(int& argc, char** argv, const char* orb_identifier,
                        const char* options[][2])
{
  omni_tracedmutex_lock sync(orb_lock);

  if( the_orb ) {
    the_orb->_NP_incrRefCount();
    return the_orb;
  }

Betreff: [omniORB] Basic simple question. Can two or more references to different ORBS coexist?

I am testing and somehow feeling shy for asking such a simple question:

Can two or more references to different ORBS coexist?

In more detail:

Can there be two or more CORBA::ORB_var configured with different calls to  CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv) passing different arguments in each call?

My tests are obtaining the same address for all orb pointers and the arguments to the successive calls to ORB_init seem to be ignored.

Is this normal behaviour? I am trying to make the code for a program which uses servants registered under two different orbs and the result I am getting is that the second servant is registered onto the NameService of the first orb, no matter if told to register on orb2.

Thanks in advance,
 Ramon Talavera
