How to publish both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses

Environment

VisiBroker 8.5.x
All supported platforms

Question/Problem Description

A CORBA server may wish to publish an IOR containing both IPv4 and IPv6 host addresses. This allows clients to connect to the server's the IPv4, or IPv6 host address.

Clarifying Information

The Internet Protocol version 6 specification is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force and can be found here.

Resolution

To publish an IOR containing both the IPv4 and IPv6 IP address, two server engines are configured. For example, "iiop_tp" (the default for IPv4) and "iiop_ipv6" (for IPv6).

pm.setProperty("vbroker.se.default", "iiop_tp,iiop_ipv6");

// Set IPv4 IP address:
pm.setProperty("vbroker.se.iiop_tp.host", "[IPv4 IP Address]");

...

// Set IPv6 IP address:
pm.addProperty("vbroker.se.iiop_ipv6.host", "[IPv6 IP Address]");

Please see the attached Java, server application for an example of how to publish IPv4 and IPv6 object references.
