NAME
omniMapper - Simple proxy for CORBA naming service from omniORB
SYNOPSIS
omniMapper [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the omniMapper command.
omniMapper is a simple daemon which listens on port 2809 (or any other
port) and redirects IIOP requets for configured object keys to
associated persistent IORs. It can be used to make a naming service
(even an old non-INS aware version of omniNames or other ORB’s naming
service) appear on port 2809 with the object key NameService. The same
goes for any other service you may wish to specify, such as an interace
repository.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description,
see the HTML pages included in the omniorb4-doc package.
-port port
This allows you to choose a port other than 2809 to listen on.
-config config_file
This specifies a location for the configuration file. The
default name is /etc/omniMapper.cfg.
-v omniMapper does not normally print anything; this option makes
it verbose so it prints configuration information and a record
of the redirections it makes to standard output.
CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file is very simple. Each line contains a string to
be used as an object key, some white space and an IOR (or any valid
URI) that it will redirect that object key to. Comments should be
prefixed with a # character. For example:
# Example omniMapper.cfg
NameService IOR:000f...
InterfaceRepository IOR:0100...
SEE ALSO
omniNames(8).
The programs are documented fully by the HTML documentation in the
omniorb4-doc package.
