ORBit 2 Fisterra packages and patch

We have developed a ORBit2 patch in order to allow the use of fixed URLs to register a service on the ORB. This way we can replace the corba object key for a fixed string, like this:

corbaloc:iiop:1.2@mybussines.com:4444/NameService

Our patch has been uploaded to the HEAD of the ORBit2 CVS. However the patch is not still available in the debian package so we have uploaded here the patch and the debian packages patched. This way you can easily replace your orbit2 packages on your installation. Soever, you can still continue using the ior files for the client resolve process; the server will not start without a proper name server up and running, because it will try to register its objects.

Daemons

• Start script for the Orbit2 name server: (orbit_name_server_init ~1 kB)

As root, place this script at the /etc/init.d directory.

$ chown root:root orbit_name_server_init
$ chmod +x orbit_name_server_init
$ cp orbit_name_server_init /etc/init.d/orbit_name_server_init

Then create some symbolic links for each level of execution with these commands:

$ ln -s /etc/init.d/orbit_name_server_init /etc/rc0.d/K20orbit_name_server_init
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/orbit_name_server_init /etc/rc1.d/K20orbit_name_server_init
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/orbit_name_server_init /etc/rc2.d/S20orbit_name_server_init
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/orbit_name_server_init /etc/rc3.d/S20orbit_name_server_init
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/orbit_name_server_init /etc/rc4.d/S20orbit_name_server_init
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/orbit_name_server_init /etc/rc5.d/S20orbit_name_server_init
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/orbit_name_server_init /etc/rc6.d/K20orbit_name_server_init
$ /etc/init.d/orbit_name_server_init start

This could be done in a single command with the update-rc.d command that belongs to sysv-rc Debian package. The command is

update-rc.d orbit_name_server_init defaults
