xindice bootstrap server move

[JC Tchitchiama <jc...@panonet.net>]

Greetings,

I was wondering how the db_bootstrap.ior gets updated when the server location
happen to change.
Basically how does the client know the ehostname and the server port number
to connect to if the server change location.

Does the db_bootstrap.ior file needs to be regenerated evrytime a server moves 
?

Best Regards.

Everytime the xindice server is started a new file is created/updated with the 
server hostname and port number. That infos is passed to clients at boostrap 
stage. The client use the IOR to connect to the server.

The IOR has all reference infos required to connect to the server.

Yes everytimes the server is started.

Something worth improving is the location of the db_bootstrap.ior file. The 
file location should be configuration through the system.xml or the vm.cfg 
file.
