Yoko CORBA and Naming Service

[Aman Nanner/MxI Technologies <am...@mxi.com>]

Hi,

I'm testing out a message bridge connection between an ActiveMQ topic in
Geronimo, and a topic in Weblogic.  I'm running into a CORBA issue when the
Geronimo server starts up and attempts to establish the message bridge.

In order to make this work, I've placed the necessary Weblogic client
libraries in the classpath.  Weblogic uses CORBA as its protocol for
communication.  When Geronimo starts up the ActiveMQ broker, it launches
the Weblogic code to create the ORB.  In this case, the Yoko ORB is used.
The error occurs when there is an attempt to resolve the "NamingService".
The reference cannot be resolved because the Naming Service does not exist
in the list of services for the ORB.  I did a bit of research and debugging
and it seems that the Name Service that is used by Yoko is some kind of
"transient" name service.  I'm not aware what this means and if this is the
cause of the problem.  If so, is there a way to resolve this issue?  Below
is the stacktrace of the error that occurs.
