JacORB Startup

 

0. download JacORB binary tar file from website.

 

1. rm -rf JacORB

2. unzip JacORB-2.3.0-bin.zip

 

2. export PATH=$PATH:JacORB/bin

    export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:JacORB/lib/avalon-framework-4.1.5.jar:JacORB/lib/idl.jar:JacORB/lib/jacorb.jar:JacORB/lib/logkit-1.2.jar

3. cd JacORB && ant jaco

    # this will regenerate jaco script file
4. cd JacORB/etc && mv orb.properties orb.properties.bak

    # remove orb.properties, we will use jacorb.properties

5. cd JacORB/etc && mv jacorb_properties.template jacorb.properties

 

6. modify jacorb.properties
   line 24: ORBInitRef.NameService=corbaloc::localhost:34018/NameService       

   # Where is the NS? i.e., how JacORB service/client find the Naming Service.

   line 729: #jacorb.naming.ior_filename=c:/NS_Ref     

   # Where NS IOR is written to; let's comment out

 

7. start ns
   cd JacORB/bin && ./ns -DOAPort=34018

   # port 34018 is used for Naming Service listening on

 

8. run a tool
   cd JacORB/bin && ./lsns

9. test a demo program (this program will access NamingService)

    cd JacORB/demo/any && ant
    cd JacORB/classes && jaco -DOAIAddr=incore4 -DOAPort=55281 demo.any.Server
    cd JacORB/classes && jaco demo.any.Client

 

10. Naming value saved in NamingService is "AnyServer.service"

 

11. test another demo program (this program will not access NamingService)

      cd JacORB/demo/value/idl && ant

      cd JacORB/classes && jaco -DOAIAddr=incore4 -DOAPort=55281 demo.value.idl.Server ior_file

      cd JacORB/classes && jaco -DOAIAddr=incore4 -DOAPort=55281 demo.value.idl.Client ior_file

 

      ior_file is the filename, server will write IOR to this file, and client will read it out.
