Product: OpenFusion CORBA Services

Version: ALL

Description:

        We would like different users to be able to create their own domains.

Resolution:

        It is possible to create your own domains for different users using OpenFusion (from version 2.5). This is done by performing the following steps:

1. Copy the ${OpenFusionInstallation}/domains directory to somewhere on your user space (e.g. $HOME/domains for the purposes of this description)
2. Set the following environment variables: OF_DOMAINS_URL=file:$HOME/domains

Once this has been done, it will be necessary to load the Administrastion Manager, and change the setting for the required services so that all files and logging settings are set to use the correct directory.

If you then use the ${OpenFusionInstallation}/bin/run script to run you CORBA clients/servers, OpenFusion will use the configuration stored in your local user space. Similarly, the OpenFusion Administration Manager will also use this configuration.

If you do not want to use the OpenFusion run script to run your clients, then you will need to pass "-DOF.Domains.URL=$OF_DOMAINS_URL" as a parameter to the JVM when running your clients for the correct domains directory to be picked up.
