Some questions on using OAFAID

[Amitabh Nene <amitabh_nene yahoo com>]

Hi,

I have a CORBA server and client running on separate physical machines. I would
like the client to activate a server object by query, similar to:
obj = oaf_activate ("repo_ids.has('IDL:Test:1.0')", NULL, 0, NULL, &ev);

The above query works when the server is running on the same machine as the
client since the server .oafinfo has an IID entry in it, but I haven't been
successful for the separate machines case - I figure I'll have to use OAFAID
somehow..

* Is this as simple as having the right OAFAID entry in the .oafinfo file ? If
so, is the syntax similar to the following:  <oaf_server iid=".." location=".."
aid="..">. Or does the AID replace the IID ?

* Does the server also have to register with oaf in a special way ? Note that I
already have oafd running with --od-domain and --ac-activate..

Will appreciate any help. Thanks.

-Amit
