[omniORB] Multiple end point and Omni 2.8 client

[Olivier Thiboutot]

Hi,



We use a server that publish more than one profile like



Profile

1. IIOP 1.0 Public_IP 3661

2. IIOP 1.0 Local_IP 3661



When we are behind the firewall with NAT, no problem but when we are
local and not using the NAT to get back on the network, it fails. If I
reverse the profiles, the opposite problem rises... I conclude that
OmniOrb 2.8 client are not trying all endpoint for establishing a
connection. Is there a way to handle that?



Thanks in advance...

omniORB 2.8 is ancient history. It doesn't support IORs with multiple
endpoints.

As Wernke has pointed out, newer versions of omniORB, starting with 4.0,
do support multiple endpoints, but not when they're specified as
multiple separate IIOP profiles, since the CORBA specification says
clients should pick just one profile.

Cheers,

Duncan.
