Starting the Interface Repository Browser
To start the Interface Repository browser and view a naming service,
you need the interface repository's IOR. Before you start, make sure
that the ORB you selected supports an IOR.
Obtaining the Interface Repository IOR
If you are managing the interface repository, you need to obtain an
IOR when you start the interface repository from the command line. A
simple way to get the IOR into the Interface Repository browser is to
copy it to the clipboard. You want the string beginning with
IOR and ending at the last nonblank character before
Interface Repository. After copying the IOR to the clipboard,
you can either:
-
Start the Interface Repository browser and paste the IOR from the clipboard
to the Interface Repository browser's startup dialog.
-
Paste the IOR from the command shell into a text editor, and save it to
a text file. You can then start the Interface Repository browser and specify
this text file in the startup dialog box.
Starting the Interface Repository Browser
To use the Interface Repository browser with the interface repository process
that you started earlier:
-
Switch to the Runtime tab of the Explorer window.
-
Right-click the CORBA Interface Repository node, and choose Add Interface
Repository. A dialog box appears that enables you
to tell the Naming Service browser how to find the service.
-
Type a name to identify the interface repository in the IDE.
-
There are two ways to supply the interface repository IOR:
-
If you copied the IOR to a file, type the URL for the file (using
file:///pathname) into the URL field.
-
Paste the IOR that you cut from the command line into the IOR field.
-
Click OK to close the dialog box. A new node, with the name you specified,
appears under the CORBA Interface Repository node. The Interface Repository
browser is now communicating with the interface repository process you
specified.
