When using - a typed language, such faults would cause a compile time error. To avoid - these mistakes, Orber allows the user to activate automatic typechecking - of all local invocations of CORBA Objects.

Note, this also apply when you inherit interfaces - supported by a COS-application. Hence, they must be installed prior to - registration of your application.</p> - <br></br> - <p><em>Q: I have a Orber client and server residing on two different Orber instances but I only get the 'OBJECT_NOT_EXIST' exception, even though I am sure that the object is still alive?</em></p> - <p>A: If the two Orber-ORB's are not intended to be a part of multi-node ORB, make sure that the - two Orber-ORB's have different <em>domain</em> names set (see - <seealso marker="ch_install#config">configuration settings</seealso>).

If it is correct and the return type is, for example, - a struct, make sure you have set every field in the struct. If - you do not do that it will be set to the atom 'undefined', which - most certainly is not correct.</p> - <br></br> - <p>A: Check that you handle <c>inout</c> and <c>out</c> parameters correctly - (see the IDL specification). For example, a function which have one - out-parameter and should return void, then your call-back module - should return <c>{reply, {ok, OutParam}, State}</c>. Note, even though - the return value is void (IDL) you must reply with ok.</p> - <br></br> - <p><em>Q: I cannot run Orber as a multi-node ORB?</em></p> - <p>A: Make sure that the Erlang distribution have been started for each - node and the <c>cookies</c> are correct.

In order to use the ORB, it is - necessary for programmers to know how to access ORB functionality - from their programming languages. It translates different IDL constructs - to a specific programming language. This chapter - describes the mapping of OMG IDL constructs to the Erlang programming - language.</p> - </section> - - <section> - <title>OMG IDL Mapping Elements</title> - <p>A complete language mapping will allow the programmer to have - access to all ORB functionality in a way that is convenient for - a specified programming language. - </p> - <p>All mapping must define the following elements: - </p> - <list type="bulleted"> - <item>All OMG IDL basic and constructed types</item> - <item>References to constants defined in OMG IDL</item> - <item>References to objects defined in OMG IDL</item> - <item>Invocations of operations, including passing of - parameters and receiving of results</item> - <item>Exceptions, including what happens when an operation - raises an exception and how the exception parameters are - accessed</item> - <item>Access to attributes</item> - <item>Signatures for operations defined by the ORB, such as - dynamic invocation interface, the object adapters etc.</item> - <item>Scopes; - OMG IDL has several levels of scopes, which are mapped to Erlang's - two scopes.</item> - </list> - </section> - - <section> - <title>Getting Started</title> - <p>To begin with, we should decide which type of objects (i.e. servers) we - need and if two, or more, should export the same functionality. Let us - assume that we want to create a system for DB (database) access for different - kind of users. For example, anyone with a valid password may extract - data, but only a few may update the DB. Usually, an application - is defined within a <c>module</c>, and all global datatypes are defined - on the top-level. To begin with we create a module and the interfaces we - need:</p> - <code type="none"> -// DB IDL -#ifndef _DB_IDL_ -#define _DB_IDL_ -// A module is simply a container -module DB { - - // An interface maps to a CORBA::Object. - interface CommonUser { - - }; - - // Inherit the Consumer interface - interface Administrator : CommonUser { - - }; - - interface Access { - - }; - -}; -#endif </code> - <p>Since the <c>Administrator</c> should be able to do the same things as the - <c>CommonUser</c>, the previous inherits from the latter. The <c>Access</c> - interface will grant access to the DB. - Now we are ready to define the functionality and data types we need. But, this - requires that we know a little bit more about the OMG IDL.</p> - <note> - <p>The OMG defines a set of reserved case insensitive key-words, which may - <em>NOT</em> be used as identifiers (e.g. module name).

The major difference is that - when it is disk based a Mnesia schema must be created:</p> - <code type="erl"> -nodeA@hostA> mnesia:create_schema([nodeA@hostA, nodeB@hostB]). -nodeA@hostA> mnesia:start(). - </code> - <p>In this example, we assume that we want to use two nodes; <c>nodeA</c> and - <c>nodeB</c>. Since it is not possible to create a schema on more than - one node. Hence, all we have to do is to start Mnesia (i.e. invoke - <c>mnesia:start()</c>) on <c>nodeB</c>.</p> - <p>After Mnesia have been started on all nodes, you must confirm that all - nodes have the same domain name, then Orber is ready to be installed:</p> - <code type="erl"> -nodeA@hostA> corba:orb_init([{domain, "MyDiskMultiNodeORB"}]). -nodeA@hostA> orber:install([nodeA@hostA, nodeB@hostB], - [{ifr_storage_type, disc_copies}]). -nodeA@hostA> orber:start(). - </code> - <p>Note that you can only invoke <c>orber:install/1/2</c> on one of the - nodes.

It - must have prior knowledge of the source to destination mappings, and - conceptually has a configuration table containing tuples of the form: - <c>({inhost:inport}, {outhost:outport})</c>. If there are no port restrictions - it is rather easy to configure the firewall. Otherwise, we must consider the - following alternatives:</p> - <list type="bulleted"> - <item><em>Incoming Requests</em> - Orber only uses the port-numbers specified - by the configuration parameters <em>iiop_port</em> and - <em>iiop_ssl_port</em>.

This way we can share Internet Protocol address resources or - obscure resources. To enable this feature the - <seealso marker="ch_install#flags">Enable NAT</seealso> flag must be set and - <c>nat_iiop_port</c>, <c>nat_iiop_ssl_port</c> and <c>nat_ip_address</c> - configured, which maps to <c>iiop_port</c>, <c>iiop_ssl_port</c> and - <c>ip_address</c> respectively. Hence, the firewall must be configured to - translate the external to the internal representation correctly. If these NAT parameters - are assigned a single port number or IP address, only those will be used when - an IOR is exported to another ORB. When <c>ip_address</c> is set to - <c>{multiple, [IPAddress]}</c>, <c>nat_ip_address</c> should be configured in the same - way, so that each NAT IP address can be translated to a valid address by the firewall. - If objects are supposed to be accessible via different interfaces and port, see also - <seealso marker="ch_install#interfaces">Interface Configuration</seealso>, - the options <c>{local, DefaultNATIPAddress, [{IPAddress, NATIPAddress}]}</c> and/or - <c>{local, DefaultNATPort, [{Port, NATPort}]}</c> shall be used.

If the IP address and/or port is not found in the list, - the default values will be inserted in the IOR. The firewall must be able to translate - these correctly.</p> - <p>If it is necessary to limit the access to an ORB within a secure network, - but other applications running on the same host may not be blocked out, - one can use a <em>Application Level</em> firewall or Orber Access Control - List (ACL). The latter makes it possible for the user to define which hosts - may communicate, either as server or client, with Orber.

For example, if Orber would - be started with the ACL <c>[{tcp_out, "10.1.1.1/8#4001/5001"}]</c>, then - <c>orber_acl:match/2</c> would behave as follows:</p> - <code type="erl"> -erl> orber_acl:match({11,1,1,1}, tcp_out). -false - -erl> orber_acl:match({10,1,1,1}, tcp_out). -true - -erl> orber_acl:match({11,1,1,1}, tcp_out, true). -{false,[],0} - -erl> orber_acl:match({10,1,1,1}, tcp_out, true). -{true,[],{4001,5001}} - </code> - <p>Only if the returned boolean is true the extra return values makes a - difference.

Note, invoking the <c>orber_acl:match/2/3</c> - operation, will not result in a connect attempt by Orber. The reason for - this, is that this function may be used on a live node as well as in test - environment.

Some times, it is even - necessary to use a specific interface for a single CORBA object. This section - describe how one can alter this in different ways.</p> - <p>The default behavior is that Orber lets the OS configuration decide which interface - will be added in IOR:s exported to another ORB and the local interface used - when connecting to another ORB (Orber act as client side ORB). The latter can be - overridden by setting the configuration parameters <c>iiop_ssl_ip_address_local</c> - and/or <c>ip_address_local</c>, which will affect IIOP via SSL and IIOP - respectively. These parameters can be overridden by using the Orber generic - <c>interface</c> Context or defining an ACL (Access Control List). The latter - always takes precedence if a local interface is included (e.g. - <c>[{tcp_out, "10.0.0.0/8", ["10.0.0.1"]}]</c>). If the interface is excluded - (e.g. <c>[{tcp_out, "10.0.0.0/8"}]</c>), the interface chosen will, in the following - order, be determined by - <c>#'IOP_ServiceContext'{}</c>, <c>ip_address_local/iiop_ssl_ip_address_local</c> or - the configuration of the underlying system.</p> - <p>Adding the interface context, for generated stubs/skeletons, is done in the - following way:</p> - <code type="erl"> -Ctx = #'IOP_ServiceContext'{context_id = ?ORBER_GENERIC_CTX_ID, - context_data = {interface, "10.0.0.1"}}, -'CosNaming_NamingContext':resolve(NS, [{context, [Ctx]}], Name), - </code> - <p>It is also possible to add the context to - <c>corba:string_to_object/2, corba:resolve_initial_references/2, corba:resolve_initial_references_remote/3, corba:list_initial_services_remote/2, corba_object:not_existent/2, corba_object:non_existent/2</c> and <c>corba_object:is_a/3</c>. - The operations exported by <c>corba_object</c> are affected - if the supplied IOR is external. The function <c>corba:string_to_object/2</c> - might require the interface context if a <c>corbaloc</c> or a <c>corbaloc</c> - string is passed (See the - <seealso marker="ch_naming_service#interop_ns">INS</seealso> chapter), - while <c>corba:resolve_initial_references_remote/3</c> and - <c>corba:list_initial_services_remote/2</c> always connect to another ORB and - it might be necessary to add the context. - The remaining <c>corba</c> operations are affected if calls are re-directed - by setting the <c>orbInitRef</c> and/or <c>orbDefaultInitRef</c> configuration - parameters. For more information, see the Reference Manual for each module.</p> - <p>Configuring which interface(s) that shall be used when exporting an IOR to - another ORB, is determined by <c>nat_ip_address</c>, setting the flag - <seealso marker="ch_install#flags">16#1000</seealso> - and <c>ip_address</c>, in that order.

Given a context, you can use a sequence to reference an object. - This sequence is henceforth referred to as <em>name</em> and the - individual - elements in the sequence as <em>name components</em>.

Thus, the programmer can work with any other - platform provided that an IDL mapping and interfaces exist. - </p> - <p>The IDL mapping which is described in a later chapter is the - translator between other platforms, and languages.

OrberWeb allows the user to do the very same thing.</p> - <p>When referencing an object or context you must use stringified NameComponents. - For more information see the <seealso marker="ch_naming_service">Interoperable Naming Service</seealso>. - In the following example we will use the string <em>org/erlang/TheObjectName</em>, where - <em>org</em> and <em>erlang</em> will be contexts and <em>TheObjectName</em> - the name the object will be bound to.</p> - <p>Since the NameService is empty in the beginning, the only thing we can do is creating - a new context.

But - the Erlang distribution must be started (e.g. by using -sname aNodeName). Now, all - you have to do is to invoke:</p> - <code type="none"> -erl> webtool:start(). -WebTool is available at http://localhost:8888/ -Or http://127.0.0.1:8888/ - </code> - <p>Type one of the URL:s in your web-browser.
