NAME
servertool - The Java(TM) IDL Server Tool
servertool provides an ease-of-use interface for application programmers to register, unregister, startup and
shutdown a server.
SYNOPSIS
servertool -ORBInitialPort nameserverport options { commands ]
If you did not enter a command when starting servertool, the command-line tool displays with a servertool >
prompt. Enter commands at the servertool > prompt.
If you enter a command when starting servertool, the Java IDL Server Tool starts, runs the command, and exits.
The -ORBInitialPort nameserverport option is required. The value for nameserverport must specify the port on
which orbd is running and listening for incoming requests. When using Solaris software, you must become root to
start a process on a port under 1024. For this reason, we recommend that you use a port number greater than or
equal to 1024 for the nameserverport.
DESCRIPTION
The servertool provides the command-line interface for the application programmers to register, unregister,
startup, and shutdown a server. Other commands are provided to obtain various statistical information about the
server.
OPTIONS
-ORBInitialHost nameserverhost
Specifies the host machine on which the name server is running and listening for incoming requests. The
nameserverhost defaults to localhost if this option is not specified. If orbd and servertool are running
on different machines, you must specify the name or IP address of the host on which orbd is running.
-Joption
Pass option to the Java virtual machine, where option is one of the options described on the reference
page for the java application launcher. For example, -J-Xms48m sets the startup memory to 48 megabytes.
It is a common convention for -J to pass options to the underlying virtual machine.
COMMANDS
register -server <server class name>
-classpath <classpath to server> [ -applicationName <alternate server name> -args <args to server> -vmargs
<flags to be passed to Java VM> ]
Register a new server with the Object Request Broker Daemon (ORBD). If the server is not already regis-
tered, it is registered and activated. This command causes an install method to be invoked in the main
class of the server identified by the -server option. The install method must be public static void
install(org.omg.CORBA.ORB). The install method is optional and enables the developer to provide their own
server installation behavior (for example, creating database schema).
unregister -serverid <server id >
| -applicationName <name>
Unregister a server from the ORBD by using either its server id or its application name. This command
causes an uninstall method to be invoked in the main class of the server identified by the -server option.
The uninstall method must be public static void uninstall(org.omg.CORBA.ORB). The uninstall method is
optional and enables the developer to provide their own server uninstall behavior (for example, undoing
the behavior of the install method).
getserverid -applicationName <application name>
Return the server id that corresponds with an application.
list
List all information about all persistent servers registered with the ORBD.
listappnames
List the application names for all server currently registered with the ORBD.
listactive
List all information about all persistent servers that have been launched by the ORBD and are currently
running.
locate -serverid <server id> | -applicationName <application name>
[-endpointType <endpointType> ]
Locate the endpoints (ports) of a specific type for all ORBs created by a registered server. If a server
is not already running, it is activated. If an endpoint type is not specified, then the plain/non-pro-
tected endpoint associated with each ORB in a server is returned.
locateperorb -serverid <server id> | -application Name <application name> ]
[-orbid <ORB name> ]
Locate all the endpoints (ports) registered by a specific ORB of registered server. If a server is not
already running, then it is activated. If an orbid is not specified, the default value of "" is assigned
to the orbid. If any ORBs are created with an orbid of empty string, all ports registered by it are
returned.
orblist -serverid <server id> |
-applicationName <application name> ]
Lists the ORBId of the ORBs defined on a server. An ORBId is the string name for the ORB created by the
server. If the server is not already running, it is activated.
shutdown -serverid <server id> |
-applicationName <application name> ]
Shutdown an active server that is registered with ORBD. During execution of this command, the shutdown()
method defined in the the class specified by either the -serverid or -applicationName parameter is also
invoked to shutdown the server process appropriately.
startup -serverid <server id> |
-applicationName <application name>
Startup or activate a server that is registered with ORBD. If the server is not running, this command
launches the server. If the server is already running, an error message is returned to the user.
help
List all the commands available to the server through the server tool.
quit
Exit the server tool.
