I implement a server in C++ and register it with POA. Then I implement

another server in Java and want to register it with the same POA. POA is a

sort of daemon process listening for client requests, right? I think it

should be sort of a RMI registry with a specific local/remote interface to bind

and unbind objects.

But the code samples I see with Orbix2000 typically do this...

1.ORB.init()

2.Resolve initial references to get POA.

3.Connect/activate the server object
with the POA.
4.Start ORB.

My problem is if I do those things once in C++ and once in Java am I starting

two POA daemon processes, which is an unnecessary overhead?

The answers seems to be no. Orbix guide says 'All server processes in a

location domain use the same root POA, which you obtain by calling

resolve_initial_references("POA")'.

Now I've another doubt. Why didn't they make POA also a service like Naming

service, which is started separately? Or some ORBs do so? Or something is

wrong with my understanding?

Thanks and regards,
