PrismTech has added a number of valuable features to OpenFusion JacORB
that are not available in the standard Open Source JacORB distribution.
These features include:
Inherited from OpenFusion JacORB 1.4
-
A Properties Manager GUI has been added to give a user-friendly interface
to the JacORB properties. This can be started by either selecting JacORB Properties
Manager from the Tools menu of the OpenFusion Administration Manger or by
the following command line with
<install directory/bin>
on your path:
run com.prismt.cos.treebrowser.properties.PropertiesBrowser
New for OpenFusion JacORB 2.1
- OpenFusion IMR
The new OpenFusion Implementation Repository (IMR) is used by OpenFusion
JacORB to locate and activate CORBA object implementations. The new
OpenFusion IMR was designed so that it can also be used to locate object
implementations based on OpenFusion TAO or OpenFusion e*ORB. The OpenFusion
IMR was designed to provde a single unifying IMR that can be used across
OpenFusion ORBs. However, in this initial release of the OpenFusion IMR,
support will only be provided for CORBA servers written with OpenFusion
JacORB. The OpenFusion IMR provides a number of advanced features including:
-
Load balancing between multiple server object instances. This
feature can also be used to provide basic fail over between servers objects.
-
Support is provided for fail over between IMR instances. Multiple
OpenFusion IMR instances can be started, if one instance fails then any
OpenFusion JacORB server object references registered with the first
instance will be automatically re-registered with the second OpenFusion IMR
instance and client requests will continue to be processed as normal.
-
Support is provided for auto-activation of server objects. Any
persistent object references registered with the OpenFusion IMR can be
automatically started if they are not already running when the IMR receives
a client request.
- Transparent corbaloc URLs
The jacorb.properties file now includes references to allow transparent
corbaloc URLs for the OpenFusion CORBA Services.
