[omniORB] Question: omniORB GIOP porting

[Guangye Tian]

Hello,

I am new user of omniORB-4.1.3. I want to implement a custom transport
mechanism for the GIOP. I found this message talking about this issue
in mail archive:

http://www.omniorb-support.com/pipermail/omniorb-list/1998-October/011688.html

Mr. Lo gave a lien
(http://www.orl.co.uk:80/omniORB/archives/1998-02/0050.html) which is
no longer accessible.

Can anybody give me some advice concerning the procedure on porting
omniORB GIOP to other transportation layer, the C++ abstract class for
plugging in new transport for example? Or could you please refer me to
some documentation for this issue?

Thank you very much,

Guangye

There is some out of date documentation in the source tree, in
src/lib/omniORB/orbcore/transport.txt . It's generally correct, except
that it claims client-side final shutdown is not implemented, when in
fact it is.

Beyond that, the best thing is to look at the existing TCP and Unix
sockets transport implementations, in src/lib/omniORB/orbcore/tcp and
src/lib/omniORB/orbcore/unix

Out of interest, what transport are you intending to implement?

Cheers,

Duncan.
