[Fipa-os-developers] RE: Lost with ACC boootstrapping configuration

[Alan T. <ala...@em...>]

Hi there

Firstly, you don't need a web-server or file-share in order to bootstrap
anymore :)

What you should specify is a well-known MTP address for the ACC on the
remote platform (e.g. of the form fipaos-rmi://remote-ap-ns-host:3000/acc or
corbaname::........), hence this information doesn't need to be
"bootstrapped" since it is persistent.

The use of corbaname is compatible with the JDK tnameserv CORBA NS, which is
used by FIPA-OS by default - e.g. for an ACC on a platform with the CORBA NS
running on a computer with the name "fipaos.blah.org" on port 4000, the MTP
address to use would be:

corbaname::fipaos.blah.org:4000#NameService/acc

Does this help clarify any?

Cheers,
Alan
