I can't get to first base

[Albert Wehrman]

Hi,

I am using JacORB with jdk1.3 on nt 4.0. My simple server is listed
below. When I run it it claims that it cannot resolve the name
"RootPOA" see trace back below. This code should work. So my question is
there some environmental problem. Something I missed in installing
JacORB.

Thanks in advance

poa.the_POAManager().activate();

poa.activate_object_with_id("SDRC/ms9/OI_Server".getBytes(),

System.out.println(orb.object_to_string( o ) );
orb.run();
}
catch ( Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

You are picking up the JDK's built in ORB (see the com.sun.corba stuff...).
You need to override the ORB and ORBSingleton. This is typically done
through properties or command line arguments or by placing an orb.properties
file along side rt.jar (note there are 2 rt.jars on your machine, and
typically it needs to be the on for the JRE, not the JDK, but doing both is
sometimes easier).

Perhaps JacORB has some documentation on this, I'm not sure. The release
notes for Orbix 2000 for Java, Orbacus, and Visibroker for Java all
demonstrate this, but they give the options for those ORBs, not for JacORB.
