This is a feature of JBuilder Enterprise.
The CORBA page of the Enterprise Setup dialog box (Tools|Enterprise Setup) configures an ORB for use with JBuilder. This allows you to create, run, and deploy CORBA applications.
Note: JBuilder writes out configuration settings for this page only if at least one of the settings has changed.
To use this dialog box, you must install an ORB, such as VisiBroker or OrbixWeb. In some versions of JBuilder, VisiBroker, with a development license only, is included on your JBuilder CD as part of the Borland Enterprise Server.
Choose VisiBroker or OrbixWeb. To edit the selected configuration, choose the Edit button.
To create a new configuration, choose None and click the New button. You might want to create a custom configuration, for instance, in order to use Sun tools.
The Edit button displays the Edit Configuration dialog box where you edit the selected configuration.
The New button displays the New Configuration dialog box where you create a new configuration.
Sets the current project to the same ORB configuration as the default project.
Uses this ORB as the default ORB for the Java VM. If you receive an error message, you may not have sufficient rights to modify the orb.properties
file, located in the jdk/jre/lib/
directory. You can manually create and/or edit this file, specifying the following information. This sample file references the VisiBroker ORB.
# Make VisiBroker for Java the default ORB org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB
Enables the SmartAgent to run as a JBuilder service during development. This option will be disabled if the SmartAgent is not necessary.
Sets the address where the SmartAgent should be run on the local machine. By default, this is 14000.
Writes the settings to the orb.properties
file of the /jdk/jre/lib/
directory.
