[omniORB] omniORB within Windows service - Startup problems

[joe80]

Hello everyone,

in our company we're using omniORB within an application that's installed as
a Windows service. This works fine if the service is started while Windows
is already running.

But when the service is started automatically at Windows boot time, the
application hangs when trying to resolve the RootPOA (
orb->resolve_initial_references("RootPOA") ) until the service control
manager intervenes and kills it. In the meantime I've isolated the to call
to listen() in tcpEndpoint::Bind() as point-of-failure. I've rerouted the
omniORB trace messages to one of our log files and appended the output to
this posting - may that's of some help.

We're using omniORB 4.1.0 compiled with MS Visual C++ 8.0 (VS2005). The
effect could be observed on both Windows XP Pro and Windows Server 2003.

Any help regarding this problem is appreciated. Thanks in advance,
joe80
