Re: ORBitcpp help

Hi Rozita,

Finding the address of the server is general CORBA issue (so you might 
want to post your question to a general CORBA list - better yet search 
their FAQs). The best approach for you depends on the pattern of useage 
for your client and server. The simplest approach is the one you already 
have: server writes an IOR to file, client reads IOR from file. This 
works easily if client and server are on the same machine. If they are 
on separate machines the file needs to be transmitted (ftp, scp, http, 
...) or shared via a network file system (nfs, samba, ...). I haven't 
used the Naming Service (or alternatively Bonobo Activation 
Server/Service?) much, but with remote machines I think you still have 
to find the IOR of the naming service anyway.
