[omniORB] omniORB 4.0.1 on AIX 5.1

[Andreas.Eglseer at ecs.steyr.com ()]

Hi All,

I've a strange behavior on AIX 5.1:
I used one of the poa examples to show
(src/examples/poa/implicit_activation),
but it's the same with all examples I tested.
The app is only working, if I give a portnumber in the ORBendPoint
parameter.
Could somebody give me a hint what I did wrong?

***@aixhost:implicit_activation >./eg1
omniORB: Cannot get the address of host .
omniORB: Error: Unable to create an endpoint of this description:
giop:tcp::0
Caught a CORBA::INITIALIZE
***@aixhost:implicit_activation >./eg1 -ORBendPoint giop:tcp:127.0.0.1
omniORB: Error: Unable to create an endpoint of this description:
giop:tcp:127.0.0.1
Caught a CORBA::INITIALIZE
***@aixhost:implicit_activation >./eg1 -ORBendPoint
giop:tcp:127.0.0.1:1234
I said, "Hello!".
The Echo object replied, "Hello!".
***@aixhost:implicit_activation >

Cheers,

Andreas.

You used AIX (just kidding).

Actually, I have seen this same thin with omniORB 4.1 on AIX. I
tracked down the cause, once, but I have forgotten the exact location
in the code. The workaround, as you have found, is to specify the port
if you specify the address.

As I recall, the root cause is something silly like AIX expecting a
NULL in a system call when an empty string is passed instead. If
someone can remind me where, in the code, endpoints are created I may
have time to track this down again.
