Managing Object Request Brokers
An Object Request Broker (ORB) manages the interaction between clients and servers using the Internet InterORB Protocol (IIOP). There are several ways to manage an ORB. For example, you can use ORB custom property settings, or system property settings to configure an ORB, or you can provide objects during ORB initialization.
About this task
Default ORB property values are set when the product starts and the ORB service initializes. These properties control the run-time behavior of the ORB and can also affect the behavior of product components that are tightly integrated with the ORB, such as security. You might have to modify some ORB settings to fit your system requirements.
After an ORB instance is established in a process, changes to ORB properties do not affect the behavior of a running ORB instance. You must stop the process and restart it before the modified settings take effect.
A list of possible tasks for managing an ORB follows.
