Here you can see the first steps implementing a full CORBA-compliant CosEvent-service. Just now, nearly nothing is working. To use the event server, you have to start it like this orbit-event-server >/tmp/event-service-ior There is a new interface in the CosEventChannelAdmin module, that is: module CosEventChannelAdmin { interface EventChannelFactory { EventChannel new_event_channel(); }; }; Thats the way to obtain new channels. The ior, that orbit-event-server outputs is the object-reference of this Factory. Then you can test the event server with the event-consumer and event-supplier progs, which are not ready yet. The whole thing is also some kind of test environment for the new ORBit any implementation. Sebastian Wilhelmi TODO: - is there a better way to get a new channel. the spec is not very verbose about it.
