Bug 2752

Summary:	Cannot use the same ORBlistenEndpoint again when restarting an ORB

Description Joe Seward 2006-12-15 15:25:20 CST

If a process initializes an ORB with a specific listen endpoint, it doesn't seem
to be able to use that same endpoint again if it goes through a
destroy()/ORB_init() cycle.  We want to be able to restart the ORB without
shutting down the process, and can only do so by changing the listen endpoint. 
An empty orbID string is being passed to the ORB_init() call, and destroy() is
definitely being called between ORB_init() calls.

Is the ORB keeping some socket resources open, or possibly the OS is doing it?

I have reproduced the problem using the TAO Hello test and can attach that if
needed.  Thanks

That should be it.

I am sorry, but your changes seem to be too extensive for me to grok, at the
moment. I would suggest trying to somehow limit them, while preserving the
essence of what you want to demonstrate.

Also, use "unified" diff _and_ include all changed files in a single patch.
Otherwise, it might take more time to understand your changes than one can spare
(for free, that is :)) ...

HTH,

Joe,

Thanks for the patch. Could you please, also submit the output you are receiving
on the console from running your modified test? 

Also, if you could run with "-ORBDebugLevel 10 -ORBVerboseLogging 2" for both
the client and the server.

Thanks for your help,

--Iliyan
