Generic Manager/Factory implementation needs: JacORB, >jdk1.1.x Making a distributed system i had the need of having somehow something that would allow to start on a network of machines distributed process. I was told to use the factory paradigm, which means having on each machine of the network a daemon that would instantiate the needed objects. Trying to achieve this i hit into the limitation of the nameserver to allow only unique bindings to names. I looked at a GPL'd trader in java, but it needed dynamic classes, and as it seems i have not the faintest idea of the purpose of a trader, further i am using JacORB as an orb implementation, and it doesn't support the dynamic functionalities requested by this trader. So i searched further but finding nothing, implemented my-self a system which acts like a modifyed nameserver, letting record service names and service providers bound to them, letting ask some object to this manager to deliver an object bound to a particular service (with a minimalistic loadbalancing). Together with that manager are delivered some (hopefully) generic factories able to instantiate objects which are directly derived from org.omg.CORBA.Object or objects using the delegation-pattern and accessible through a tie-class. Hoping that this could be usable for others i make them available under the GPL, look at http://erm1.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett/jtrader/ for further information. -- ciao bboett ============================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://erm6.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
