[omniORB] TPC Port selection

[Obermaier, Stephen J (IS)]

Hello!

Is there any way to explicitly configure omniorb to mange client/server interactions on a specified block of contiguous TCP ports? There are a number of security requirement being placed on our applications that will force us to interact on a specified set of port numbers, as opposed to just having the OS choose a specified port. We are running omniORB 4.1.4 under Windows.

Thanks!

Steve O.

With omniORB 4.1.x you can choose a single port with -ORBendPoint
giop:tcp::12345 but you can't specify a range. With 4.2 (which is what's
on trunk in svn) you'll be able to give a range like
giop:tcp::12345-12355

Cheers,
