Naming Service Browser Commands

Use the Naming Service browser by right-clicking the CORBA Naming Service node or its subnodes in the Runtime tab of the Explorer. The contextual menu for each type of node displays the appropriate commands.

CORBA Naming Service Node Commands

This node represents the naming service.

Bind New Context

Connects to a running naming service and displays the contents of the naming service.

Start Local

Starts a local naming service.

Naming Context Node Commands

These nodes represent naming contexts, including the initial context, found in naming services.

Create New Context

Creates a new context underneath the selected context. The browser represents the new context as a subnode of the selected node.

Bind New Context

Binds a running naming service into the selected context. You must supply the naming service's interoperable object reference (IOR), either as a URL to a file that holds the IOR, or as text that you paste (into the IOR field in the dialog box opened by this command).

Unbind Context

Removes the selected context and its subnodes from the browser's context tree. If you select a top-level node that represents a naming service server, you only unbind the naming service from the Naming Service browser. But if you select any other node and execute this command, you actually remove the context or object from the naming service.

Copy Server Binding Code

Generates code for binding a server object to the selected context and copies the code to the system clipboard. You can paste this code into a server-side program and complete it, thereby binding an instance of an implementation class into the naming context you originally selected.

Bind New Object

Binds a running server object into the selected context. You must supply the server object's IOR, either as a URL to a file that holds the IOR or as text that you paste into the IOR field in the dialog box opened by this command.

Refresh

Refreshes the selected node and all of its subnodes.

Properties

Displays the properties of the selected node.

Server Object Node Commands

These nodes represent CORBA servant objects that have been registered with a naming service. A naming service can contain many servant object nodes.

Unbind Object

Unbinds the selected object.

Copy Client Code

Generates code for binding a client to the selected server object and copies it to the system clipboard. You can paste this code into a client-side program, and it will return a reference to the server you selected.

Properties

Displays the properties of the selected server object node.
