I am using Jacorb for corba implementation. I have started the NS on port 900. When I am trying to start the server I am getting following exception
D:\eclipse_workspace\WorkSpace\corba\bin>jaco hello.MyServer -DORBInitRef.NameService=jacorb::localhost:900

at org.jacorb.orb.ORB.resolve_initial_references(ORB.java:1371)
at hello.MyServer.main(MyServer.java:15)
Code is as following
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("ORBInitRef","NameService=jacorb::localhost:900");
System.out.println(System.getProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass"));
org.omg.CORBA.ORB orb = org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init(args, props);
org.omg.CORBA.Object o = orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService");
NamingContextExt nc = NamingContextExtHelper.narrow( o );
}
Could someone tell whats the problem here?
The NameService reference has to be either a reference to a file containing an IOR, e.g., file://tmp/NS_Ref or an URL, e.g., http://www.testme.not/NS_Ref or just a corbaloc/corbaname URL, e.g., corbaloc:iiop:1.2@host1:3075/NameService
The last one is most common. You can shorten it, for example, to corbaloc::localhost:900/NameService
