6.4.1 po_cos_naming

po_cos_naming is a standalone server that supports the CORBA COS Naming specification. When launched, it returns its IOR and corbaloc, which can then be used by other CORBA applications.

If you want po_cos_naming to return the same IOR or corbaloc at each startup, you must set a default listen port for the protocol personalities you use. See Configuring protocol personality preferences for more details.

po_cos_naming can output its IOR directly to a file using the -file <filename> flag. This, in conjonction with the 'file://' naming scheme provided by CORBA, provides a convenient way to store initial references to the Naming Service.

     Usage: po_cos_naming
      -file <filename> : output COS Naming IOR to 'filename'
      -help : print this help
