Orbix daemon redirecting request. Why???

[mark....@lmco.com]

Has anyone seen the following type of "redirect" message from orbixd? We
receive this message on a consumer that is connected to an event channel. The
methodname is never called. Any ideas what might be causing this error? We
have another version of the consumer that works with this same event channel.

The orbix daemon was started with: orbixd -u -t

[hh:mm:ss:ms orbixd@hostname Processing Server Details request:
Servername/o/methodname(clientname)]
[hh:mm:ss:ms orbixd@hostname redirecting request to Servername on port 1593]

Thanks,
Mark Heller

This is normal. What happens is that when your export an
object reference in Orbix it usually puts the port of the daemon
in the object reference rather than the server process's port number.

So the first time you use the object reference it contacts the
Orbix Daemon instead of the server (event channel in your case). The
Orbix Daemon then redirects the message to the correct server by
returning a location forward message to the caller. Subsequent
uses of the object reference will always go directly to the server.

Orbix uses this techniques so that the Daemon can activate the
server if it is not currently running.
