NAME

       omniMapper - Simple proxy for CORBA naming service from omniORB

SYNOPSIS

       omniMapper [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the omniMapper command.

       omniMapper is a simple daemon which listens on port 2809 (or any other port) and redirects
       IIOP requets for configured object keys to associated persistent IORs.  It can be used  to
       make  a  naming  service  (even  an  old non-INS aware version of omniNames or other ORB's
       naming service) appear on port 2809 with the object key NameService.  The  same  goes  for
       any other service you may wish to specify, such as an interace repository.

OPTIONS

       A  summary  of  options is included below.  For a complete description, see the HTML pages
       included in the omniorb4-doc package.

       -port port
              This allows you to choose a port other than 2809 to listen on.

       -config config_file
              This specifies a  location  for  the  configuration  file.   The  default  name  is
              /etc/omniMapper.cfg.

       -v     omniMapper  does  not  normally  print anything; this option makes it verbose so it
              prints configuration information and a record  of  the  redirections  it  makes  to
              standard output.

CONFIGURATION FILE

       The  configuration  file  is  very  simple.   Each line contains a string to be used as an
       object key, some white space and an IOR (or any valid URI)  that  it  will  redirect  that
       object key to.  Comments should be prefixed with a # character.  For example:
           # Example omniMapper.cfg
           NameService         IOR:000f...
           InterfaceRepository IOR:0100...
