ORBit-Gtk

Description

This routine initializes gnome (by calling gnome_init). A few items are set up to allow ORBit and gtk to interact well, and finally it initializes ORBit and returns the CORBA_ORB reference to the new ORB.

Usage

int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
	CORBA_ORB my_orb;
	CORBA_Environment ev;

	CORBA_exception_init(&ev);
	my_orb = gnome_CORBA_init("myapp", NULL, &argc, &argv, 0, NULL, &ev);
	if(ev._major != CORBA_NO_EXCEPTION)
	    exit(1); /* error initializing ORB */

	/* insert killer app code here */
}

Parameters

• char *app_id

  An alphanumeric application ID string (the application's name is a good choice).

• struct argp *app_parser

  See the (non-existent) argp docs for help.

• int *argc

  A pointer to the number of arguments.

• char **argv

  The array of argument strings.

• unsigned int flags

  See the (non-existent) argp docs for help.

• int *arg_index

  See the (non-existent) argp docs for help.

• CORBA_Environment *ev

  Pointer to a CORBA exception information structure, to allow the ORB initialization functions to signal any errors that occur.

Description

This routine is used to get access to the top naming context for the current GNOME session. If a naming server is not running, one will be started.

This function assumes that both gtk and ORBit have been initialized.

Usage

CORBA_Object ns;

ns = gnome_name_service_get();
