Problem:
Product: VisiBroker
Platform: All Plarforms
When launching Naming Service with the command below:
nameserv -config properties.cfg & > NameServ.ior
The content of the property file as follows:
vbroker.se.iiop_tp.scm.iiop_tp.listener.port=$NS_PORT
This throws the exception below:
ExtFactory fails!org.omg.CORBA.INITIALIZE: Couldn"t not resolve ServerManager:org.omg.CORBA.INTERNAL: org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM:java.lang.NumberFormatException: $NS_PORT minor code: 0 completed: Nominor code: 0 completed: No minor code: 0 completed: No

[1] Done nameserv -config properties.cfg >NameServ.ior
Resolution:
Passing variable inside a config file for nameserv is not supported. The reason for this is that the JVM cannot resolve values for variables, resulting in nameserv throwing the "CORBA.BAD_PARAM" exception. This is a limitation of the JVM. However, this varaiable can be interpreted via the command parameter as follows:nameserv -J-Dvbroker.se.iiop_tp.scm.iiop_tp.listener.port=$NS_PORT
This command can be put inside a shell script since the shell is able to resolve values for variables.
This issue could occur on any VisiBroker application or services that uses a property file. The same resolution is applicable.
