Every MICO application has to call the ORB initialization function
ORB_init()
before using MICO functionality.
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init (argc, argv, "mico-local-orb");
...
}
That way the ORB has access to the applications command line arguments.
After evaluating them the ORB removes the command line options it understands
so the application doesn't have to care about them. You can also put
ORB command line arguments into a file called .micorc
in your home
directory. Arguments given on the command line override settings from
.micorc
. Here is a description of all ORB specific command line
arguments:
- -ORBNoIIOPServer
-
Do not activate the IIOP server. The IIOP server enables other processes
to invoke methods on objects in this process using the Internet
Inter ORB Protocol (IIOP). If for some reason you do not want other
processes to be able to invoke objects in this process you can use this
option. Default is to activate the IIOP server.
- -ORBNoIIOPProxy
-
Do not activate the IIOP proxy. The IIOP proxy enables this process to
invoke methods on objects in other processes using IIOP. If you do not
want or need this you can use this option. Default is to activate the
IIOP proxy.
- -ORBIIOPAddr <address>
-
Set the address the IIOP server should run on. See section
3.3.3 for details on addresses. If you do not specify
this option the IIOP server will choose an unused address. This option
can be used more than once to make the server listen on several addresses
(e.g., a unix: and an inet: address).
- -ORBId <ORB identifier>
-
Specify the ORB identifier, mico-local-orb
is currently the
only supported ORB identifier. This option is intended for programs
that needed access to different CORBA implementations in the same
process. In this case the option -ORBId
is used to select one
of the CORBA implementations.
- -ORBImplRepoIOR <impl repository IOR>
-
Specify a stringified object reference for the implementation repository
the ORB should use.
- -ORBImplRepoAddr <impl repository address>
-
Specify the address of a process that runs an implementation repository.
The ORB will then try to bind to an implementation repository object using
the given address. See 3.3.3 for details on addresses and
the binder. If the bind fails or if you did neither specify
-ORBImplRepoAddr
nor -ORBImpRepoIOR
the ORB will run a local
implementation repository.
- -ORBIfaceRepoIOR <interface repository IOR>
-
The same as -ORBImplRepoIOR
but for the interface repository.
- -ORBIfaceRepoAddr <interface repository address>
-
The same as -ORBImplRepoAddr
but for the interface repository.
- -ORBNamingIOR <naming service IOR>
-
The same as -ORBImplRepoIOR
but for the naming service.
- -ORBNamingAddr <naming address>
-
The same as -ORBImplRepoAddr
but for the naming service.
- -ORBDebugLevel <level>
-
Specify the debug level. <level>
is a non-negative integer
with greater values giving more debug output on cerr
.
- -ORBBindAddr <address>
-
Specify an address which bind(const char *repoid)
should try to
bind to. This option can be used more than once to specify multiple
addresses.
- -ORBConfFile <rcfile>
-
Specifies the file from which to read additional command line options
(defaults to ~/.micorc
).
- -ORBNoCodeSets
-
Do not add code set information to object references. Since code set
conversion is a CORBA 2.1 feature this option may be needed to talk
to ORBs which are not CORBA 2.1 compliant. Furthermore it may gain
some extra speed.
- -ORBNativeCS <pattern>
-
Specifies the code set the application uses for characters and
strings. <pattern>
is a shell-like pattern that must match
the description
field of a code set in the OSF code set
registry.
For example the pattern *8859-1*
will make the ORB use the
code set ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) as the native char code set, which is
the default if you do not specify this option. The ORB uses this
information to automatically convert characters and strings when talking
to an application that uses a different code set.
- -ORBNativeWCS <pattern>
-
Similar to -ORBNativeWCS
, but specifies the code set the
application uses to wide characters and wide strings. Defaults
to UTF-16, a 16 bit encoding of Unicode.
