WLS8.1 and Visibroker 4.5

[Derek Lee]

Dear All,
I am using WLS8.1 and there is a rich client using RMI with JDK1.4
bundled with WLS8.1 server. Also, there has some logic at the rich client
need to have some CORBA calls to Visibroker 4.5.1 server.
However, we find that the Visibroker4.5.1 doesn't support jdk1.4 so we
got the exception
ERROR : org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidName
org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidName
at
com.visigenic.vbroker.orb.ORB.resolve_initial_references(ORB.java:709
)
However, we use Visibroker6 vbj to run the java rich client. The CORBA
connection is fine. BUT the WLS8.1 connect doesn't work and got the
exception
Start connecting to Primary :t3://192.168.42.55:20003

Does anyone can give advice?
Thx,

The thin client uses the JDK ORB and JDK ORB features, you cannot use
it with Visibroker. You would probably need to alter you Visi code to
not set system properties for the ORB. Even then I'm not sure if it
would work, you may be forced to use the fat client.
