Below is a simple example of a CORBA program
download the source file
<b>1. produce a idl file like this</b>
hello.idl
module HelloApp {
interface Hello {
string sayHello();
};
};
<b>2. produce stub and skeleton files through idltojava.exe</b>
idltojava hello.idl
idltojava is now named as idlj.exe and is included in the JDK.
<b>3. write a server program like this </b>
// HelloServer.java
import HelloApp.*;
import org.omg.CosNaming.*;
import org.omg.CosNaming.NamingContextPackage.*;
import org.omg.CORBA.*;
import java.io.*;
class HelloServant extends _HelloImplBase
{
public String sayHello()
{
return "
Hello world !!
";
}
}
public class HelloServer {
public static void main(String args[])
{
try{
// create and initialize the ORB
ORB orb = ORB.init(args, null);
// create servant and register it with the ORB
HelloServant helloRef = new HelloServant();
orb.connect(helloRef);
// get the root naming context
org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef =
orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService");
NamingContext ncRef = NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef);
// bind the Object Reference in Naming
NameComponent nc = new NameComponent("Hello", "");
NameComponent path[] = ;
ncRef.rebind(path, helloRef);
// wait for invocations from clients
java.lang.Object sync = new java.lang.Object();
synchronized (sync) {
sync.wait();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("ERROR: " + e);
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
}
}
}
<b>4. write a client program like this</b>
// HelloClient.java
import HelloApp.*;
import org.omg.CosNaming.*;
import org.omg.CORBA.*;
public class HelloClient
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try{
// create and initialize the ORB
ORB orb = ORB.init(args, null);
// get the root naming context
org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef =
orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService");
NamingContext ncRef = NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef);
// test
System.out.println("OK..");
// resolve the Object Reference in Naming
NameComponent nc = new NameComponent("Hello", "");
NameComponent path[] = ;
Hello helloRef = HelloHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path));
// call the Hello server object and print results
//String oldhello = helloRef.lastMessage();
//System.out.println(oldhello);
String Hello = helloRef.sayHello();
System.out.println(Hello);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("ERROR : " + e) ;
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
}
}
}
<b>5. complie these files</b>
javac *.java HelloApp/*.java
<b>6. run the application</b>
a. first you’ve to run the Name Service prior to the others likethis
c:>tnameserv
b. run server
c:>java HelloServer
c. run client
c:>java HelloClient
