CORBA Execution

The CORBA Execution step is used to make CORBA calls using the Java RMI-IIOP library. You are required to provide appropriate skeleton classes.

Follow these steps:

1. Copy the corbaserver.jar file to the DevTest lib directory before starting execution. This JAR is available in the CORBA server lib directory.
2. To open the step editor, select the CORBA step.
3. Complete the fields.

   Object IOR

   This field contains the raw IOR string for the object or the name service. This string can be taken from the output (generated IOR) of running nameserver.sh batch file.

   Note: Copying and pasting from nameserver printed output to the Object IOR field can introduce spaces. The string must not contain spaces.

   Class Name

   IOR references this object class.

   You can also use the IOR construction dialog. When open, it parses any IOR string that is entered and fills in the individual parts. Ignore the strange looking key. IORs store the key in a byte format so not every byte can be displayed properly. To use the parsed version of a raw IOR, do not edit the field.

4. Click Construct/Load Object.

   The dynamic object editor shows the call sheet for the object.

5. Select the method to call and execute it.

The default CORBA Execution step uses the following convention: CORBA classname. You can change step names at any time.
