Product: OpenFusion TAO

Version: ALL

Description:

Is it possible to force TAO to close TCP/IP connection when it is no longer used?

Resolution:

There is an ORB option that forces IP addresses to be stored over names, this option is

-ORBDottedDecimalAddresses 1

or

-ORBDottedDecimalAddresses 0

1 will force the use of dotted decimal addresses. TAO queries the O/S for the host name that it should encode into IORs. Supplying '-ORBDottedDecimalAddresses' will instruct TAO to query the O/S for it's IP address instead of it's host name.

Also if you prefer you can manually force any string (IP address or hostname etc) that you like into the server IORs created by TAO instead of the values supplied by the O/S. e.g.:

-ORBEndpoint iiop:///hostname_in_ior=1.2.3.4
-ORBEndpoint iiop:///hostname_in_ior=__foo
-ORBEndpoint iiop:///hostname_in_ior=wibble.ftang.com
