Re: ORBit-0.5.17 not working with MICO 2.3.7?

[<dahaverk rockwellcollins com>]

Alex,

Nice try.   But the IIOP over TCP/IP is explicitly enabled for my
application.   I went into ORB.c and Hardcoded it to be true (and disabled
the orbitrc file).  And we can get ORBit applications to talk to each other
over TCP/IP....   But we have a mix of applications some with MICO... Some
with JacORB, and some with ORBit.  Of course, we haven't tried the JacORB
apps against ORBit yet.  I've been looking at why MICO won't talk to an
ORBit Server, and it is because the ORBit IOR fails the decode test that
MICO does.  An ORBit client will talk to a MICO server,   our application
depends on every program being able to act as both Client and Server...

I'd switch to ORBit2, but it has been in changing.... and I don't have 2
weeks of time right now to devote to porting it to my embedded target.
Cross compiling is such a pain with ORBit2....

Sounds to me like you haven't enable ORBit TCP/IP listening. By default
ORBit servers will listen on a unix domain socket using a proprietary
protocol that MICO doesn't know about, whereas Mico presumably defaults
to creating an IIOP listener. This has the effect that your ORBit client
can call a MICO server, but not vice versa.

Of course you might ask why all the different UNIX orbs have different
"UIOP" protocols for GIOP over pipes, but thats another problem!

Alex.
