4.6.5 INS Object URL Schemes

As of release 8.0, Oracle Tuxedo CORBA supports an additional Uniform Resource Locator (URL) format to be used for the specification of the location for access to an Oracle Tuxedo CORBA server environment and from where to retrieve references to initial object. The new URL format both follows and extends the definition of object URLs adopted by the OMG as part of the INS specification. The URL format described in the INS specification has also been extended to support a secure form modeled after the URL for secure HTTP, as well as the ability to support the randomize functionality initially provided in Oracle WebLogic Enterprise version 5.1.

The CORBA 2.4.2 specification requires that three object URL schemes must be supported by a compliant ORB. These schemes are defined as IOR, corbaloc, and corbaname.

Note:

The new URL string formats may also be passed to the ORB::string_to_object function.

• IOR URL Scheme
  
• corbaloc URL Scheme
  
• corbaname URL Scheme
