Naming Service

The Naming Service panel allows to connect to a CORBA Naming Service and to access the remote CORBA objects bound in that naming service. To open Naming Service window select the Naming Service command from the View menu.

You can either enter the host name of the host where CORBA Naming Service is running and the Naming Service's port number and click the Connect button, or you can drag the Naming Service's IOR file or URL into the IOR well on the NamingService panel.
After being connected to the CORBA Naming Service the panel is expanded and the remote objects are shown in the table view.

Since the CORBA Naming Service returns only the names of the bound objects or contexts and their type (whether a context or an object) a context (CTXT) on the NamingService panel should be resolved before it can be expanded. Similarly, a remote object (IOR) should be resoved too before it can be dragged into the browser's or runner's IOR well. The unresolved contexts and objects are shown in red color. For a resolved object its typeID is shown.

To connect an interface or a Runner to the remote object shown in the NamingService panel drag its id (first column) into the IOR well in the IDL definition browser window or in the Runner window.

The reload button reloads selected context. To reload the whole naming service unselect the selected item.
