Running the Stack Example on OSS
Once you have installed and configured your NonStop CORBA software, you can test the operation of
your system by running a simple CORBA program.
The Stack example is a simple but fully functional CORBA program that has both a client and a server
implemented in C++ and Java. This section discusses the Java version of the example. Because it
contains both client and server applications, the Stack example is a perfect test for your newly installed
NonStop CORBA system.
The Stack Example Overview
The Stack example resides in the javasamples/stack subdirectory of your NonStop CORBA
installation. While the intent of this topic is to test your installation, the README file in the Stack
directory describes the workings of the program files.
The Stack example is a program that implements both a CORBA client and server in Java. It is a
complete and working program that demonstrates:
An object interface definition written in the Interface Definition Language (IDL)●
A POA server that embodies the implementation of the interface defined by the interface definition●
Two POA servers that embody the implementation of the interface defined by the interface
definition
●
A client application which makes use of an instance of a stack object●
In addition to these items, the Stack example can be used to demonstrate both portability and
interoperability. To demonstrate portability, you can move this sample to another platform running an
implementation of CORBA. To demonstrate interoperability, you can build and run the client application
on one platform, and run it with the server application built on another platform.
