Thread: Help with CORBA Client...

I am trying to create a server and client where the client can contact the server to create an account and deposit and withdraw into the account. The client should be able to open more than one account.

I have no idea how to code the the Client bit.

// The package containing our stubs.
import AccountApp.*;
// HelloServer will use the naming service.
import org.omg.CosNaming.*;
// The package containing special exceptions thrown by the name service.
import org.omg.CosNaming.NamingContextPackage.*;
// All CORBA applications need these classes.
import org.omg.CORBA.*;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.LinkedList;
 
 
 
public class Server 
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    try{
 
      // Create and initialize the ORB
      ORB orb = ORB.init(args, null);
 
      // Create the servant and register it with the ORB
      AccountImpl accRef = new AccountImpl();
      orb.connect(accRef);
 
      // Get the root naming context
      org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef = orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService");
      NamingContext ncRef = NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef);
 
      // Bind the object reference in naming
      // Make sure there are no spaces between ""
      NameComponent nc = new NameComponent("Account", "");
      NameComponent path[] = {nc};
      ncRef.rebind(path, accRef);
 
      // Wait for invocations from clients
      java.lang.Object sync = new java.lang.Object();
      synchronized(sync){
        sync.wait();
      }
 
    } catch(Exception e) {

        e.printStackTrace(System.out);

What are your issues exactly? You need to give us a detailed description of the problems you are facing.
How far have you got? Does any of it work etc..

Seeing as you are using CORBA imports, you are very limited to the people who can actually compile this.
