Description Ossama Othman 1999-07-26 17:27:30 CDT 
When handling a forward request we may get forwarded to a collocated object. The
typical scenario is a server that register with the Implementation Repository:
if it creates an object reference to a local object the object reference will be
pointing to the ImplRepo and potentially none of its profiles will match the
local ones. Trying to contact the ImplRepo will result in a LOCATION_FORWARD
exceptions (and/or a LocateReply) pointing to the local endpoints, but now we
should use collocation.

Forgot to add a summary.

Nanbor is the collocation expert in the group, he is better prepared to give an
answer to this problem.
Comment 3 Nanbor Wang 1999-08-12 09:37:59 CDT 
I accept.  This is an interesting question.
Comment 4 Carlos O'Ryan 2003-04-21 11:50:22 CDT 
Bugs 1495 and 1496 split the work for this bug in two parts:

Bug 1496 describes how to make sure that a call in-progress changes from the
remote path to the collocated path.  It is a more involved problem that requires
major changes to the ORB.

Bug 1495 describes how to make subsequent calls work.  It is truly a separate
problem, and can be fixed independently.  It is also a much more important fix
for me.

This is mine, fixes are in the repo, need to do just a last retest and then we 
could close this.
Comment 6 Johnny Willemsen 2004-05-10 11:15:27 CDT 
accept
Comment 7 Johnny Willemsen 2004-06-18 05:46:34 CDT 
The bugs on which this one depends are fixed. I must still retest this with the 
implementation repository as the original report describes

Bug 1919 proves that the problem still exists (when we are dealing with the
IMR). This bug should therefore be addressed before 133 can be finally closed.
Comment 9 Johnny Willemsen 2006-06-07 07:44:29 CDT 
Bug 1919 has been validated as fixed meaning we can close this one now
