Useful notes
Name Service Log File
-
There was an incompatible change made to the TypeCode in VisiBroker for Java 3.1 to fix an interoperability problem and bring the product in compliance with the CORBA specification. This change causes the log files generated under Visibroker for Java 3.0 to be incompatible with Visibroker for Java 3.1 and 3.2. Likewise, log files generated with Visibroker for Java 3.1 and 3.2 cannot be read by Visibroker for Java 3.0. Log files for Visibroker for Java 3.1 and 3.2 are completely compatible.
Repository ID Prefix
-
The Repository ID Prefix (as described in the Services IDL by the
'#pragma prefix' directive) has changed. The 3.0 product release used
the prefix 'org.omg'. The CORBA specification dictates that the prefix
on ORB Services must be 'omg.org'. Using the original prefix does not
cause operational failure, but it does create a interoperability problem
when trying to use multiple services of the same type from different
vendors. This change does not break binary compatibilty, but will break
on-the-wire compatibility with the 3.0 version of the Services.
Classpath
-
for proper usage of the naming service your classpath must point at the
jar file released with this version of the product. For example if your
visibroker product is installed in '/usr/vbroker' then you will need to
append the text '/usr/vbroker/lib/vbjcosnm.jar' to your CLASSPATH environment
variable. On windows the equivilant would be, if you have installed the VisiBroker
products to 'D:\Visigenic\vbroker', add 'D:\Visigenic\vbroker\lib\vbjcosnm.jar' to
your CLASSPATH environment variable. This is in addition to any other class information
required by the VisiBroker for Java products.
Naming Tutorial
-
There is a Naming Tutorial available on-line at visigenic. This tutorial is designed to
help educate the developer on the usage and functionality available with the Naming service.
