Accessing the ORB Runtime Classes

To run CORBA programs, each process needs to access the classes that make up the ORB runtime. If you are using the JDK ORB (1.2 or 1.3), the ORB is included in the JDK and the ORB runtime classes are accessible from the IDE. If you are using the J2EE Reference Implementation, the J2EE ORB runtime is included in the Reference Implementation.

If you are using any other ORB implementation, you need to make sure that the runtime classes supplied with your ORB are available to your development projects in the IDE. For a list of the runtime classes, and their directory locations within the ORB installation, refer to the ORB product's documentation.

To select the ORB classes you want:

  1. Right-click the Filesystems node in the IDE's Explorer window.
  2. Choose either Mount Jar Archive or Mount Directory, depending on which format the ORB vendor used for the classes.
  3. Use the browser field to select the ORB classes.
