This Object Request Broker is written completely in Perl. It handles the conversion of user data to and from byte sequences transmitted over a network and attempts to be CORBA compliant using the CORBA e Micro profile (with the addition of features such as DSI/DII, Security, etc.)
run - This starts the ORB listening on an endpoint. The default
endpoint is the hostname and a random port between 10002 and 32767. You
can specify your own endpoint using the -ORBListenEndpoints option as an
argument to CORBA::ORB_init().
This method takes an optional parameter that specifies the number of seconds to run the processing loop.
shutdown - This tells the ORB to stop listening on an endpoint and close
any connections that may be open.
destroy - This calls shutdown() and removes all references to the ORB
(except the one used to call the method). A subsequent call to
CORBA::ORB_init() with the same name will result in a new ORB.
object_to_string - Convert an object reference into an OMG IOR format
string of bytes which represents information about the reference. The
parameter provided to this method must derive from CORBA::Object.
string_to_object - Convert a string of characters into an object
reference. It accepts the OMG IOR format, corbaloc, corbaname,
file://<filename>, http://<url>, and
ftp://[user:password@]host[:port]/<filename>.
list_initial_references - Provides a sequence of object ids which may
possibly be used successfully with resolve_initial_references().
resolve_initial_references - Obtain an object reference associated
with the name provided, such as RootPOA or IORTable. A
CORBA::ORB::InvalidName exception will be thrown if no object reference is
associated with the name provided.
id - Returns the id string associated with the ORB.
_endpoint_handles - Returns an array of file handles of all inbound
connections. This is mainly useful for integrating with an external
event loop (e.g., Tk).
_is_shutdown - Returns true if the ORB has been shutdown.
