RE: CosNaming and Lispworks 4.2

There's another issue as well. I'm now able to retrieve the naming service
reference, but only sporadically. For example:

CG 8 > (resolve-name-service)
#<COSNAMING:NAMINGCONTEXT-PROXY  localhost 9000 NameService [Forward to:
IDL:omg.org/CosNaming/NamingContext:1.0 10.2.0.2 1049 AFABCB00...34E4330A]
205F4E74>

CG 9 > (resolve-name-service)
NIL

CG 10 > (resolve-name-service)
NIL

CG 11 > (resolve-name-service)
NIL

CG 12 > (resolve-name-service)
#<COSNAMING:NAMINGCONTEXT-PROXY  localhost 9000 NameService [Forward to:
IDL:omg.org/CosNaming/NamingContext:1.0 10.2.0.2 1049 AFABCB00...34E4330A]
205F169C>

CG 13 >

(RESOLVE-NAME-SERVICE) is simply a wrapper around

(op:resolve_initial_references (server-orb) "NameService" :url)

Here's how I register the naming service:

(defun register-name-service ()
  (corba:set-pluggable-module-details "NameService" :url
"corbaloc::localhost:9000/NameService")
  (corba:get-pluggable-module-details (server-orb) "NameService" :url))

We're using the Java 1.4 ORBD COS naming service.

This smells like a timing issue (network latency?) but I'm not sure. Sorry,
I haven't found a lot of LispWorks documentation on this subject. I'd
appreciate any ideas.

Cheers,

#'dey

So, does Xanalys like to check for NIL values ?
Perhaps there are other parts of ORB code,
which could profit from NIL checking ...
