help with CosNaming

[Chandrashekhar Mullaparthi]

I'm experimenting with Orber/CORBA and need some help with the NameService.

I've compiled the example and run it successfully. Now I'm trying to run the
stack_client from another erlang node. This is where the problems begin.

1> NS = corba:resolve_initial_references_remote("NameService",
["iiop://tiger:4001"]).

works fine, though from a Windows client this call crashes the very first
time and then works fine after that.

2> 'CosNaming_NamingContext':list(NS, 10).
returns
{ok, [], BindingIterator}.

But if I execute the same command on the node where the orb is running, I
get
5>
{ok,[{'CosNaming_Binding',[{'CosNaming_NameComponent',"StackFactory",[]}],
                          nobject}], BindingIterator}.

The documentation for CosNaming_NamingContext:bind/3 says:

"Creates a binding of a name and an object in the naming context. Naming
contexts that are bound using bind() do not participate in name resolution."

I don't understand this. How does one bind a name to an object which can be
resolved? Can someone please give me a version of the stack example which
will work across nodes??

cheers,
Chandru
