Issue 6007: Mapping from -ORBxxx to Java properties does not work for -ORBInitRef (corba-rtf)
Source: Syracuse University (Mr. C. Joncheng Kuo, nobody)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: The CORBA 3.0 spec adds the following note in Section 4.5.1: ORB Initialization.


"Whenever an ORB_init argument of the form -ORBxxx is specified, it is understood that the argument may be represented in different ways in different languages. For example, in Java -ORBxxx is equivalent to a property named org.omg.CORBA.ORBxxx."


The approach stated in the above note does not work for -ORBInitRef. For example, if you have
   -ORBInitRef NameService=URL,
you cannot translate the above arguments into a property named "org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitRef" because there can be only one property of this name and there may be many different services. This issue was slightly cover by Issue 3643 (java-rtf), which was not resolved. This issue becomes obvious and important because the note added in the CORBA 3.0 spec.


Proposed solution: Arguments like "-ORBInitRef id=url" should be equivalent to a property named "org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitRef.id" with value "url".
