The following is a list of the entries in the default OrbixWeb.properties file, followed by an explanation of each.

There is also a sample entry for most( given during installation ). There are some other entries, but the ones listed are the most commonly used, and the ones which you will see if you open the default OrbixWeb.properties file. Saying that, you should use the owconfig tool in the /bin directory.

OrbixWeb.IT_IMPL_IS_READY_TIMEOUT=30000

When an in-process server is launched, the activator waits to be informed that the server is active before allowing the causative client request to proceed. It will wait a maximum of this amount of time, specified in milliseconds.

The default is 30,000, or 30 seconds.

OrbixWeb.IT_ACCEPT_CONNECTIONS=true

Configures the local ORB to open a second port to allow client processes to connect to this process so that operations can be called on this ORB's objects. If you have bidirectional IIOP enabled you can set this to false if the only servers which call back to this process would have already been connected to by this process.

OrbixWeb.IT_ALWAYS_CHECK_LOCAL_OBJS=false

When an object reference arrives, always check to see if it's a reference for a local object.

OrbixWeb.IT_ANY_BUFFER_SIZE=512

The initial size of the internal buffer used for marshaling Anys. It is not frequently changed.

OrbixWeb.IT_BIND_USING_IIOP=true

Use the IIOP protocol to bind() instead of the Orbix protocol. The defult is true.

OrbixWeb.IT_BUFFER_SIZE=8192

The initial size of the internal buffer used for marshaling operation parameters. It is not frequently changed.

OrbixWeb.IT_CLASSPATH_SWITCH=-classpath

OrbixWeb.IT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT=300000

The time (in 1000ths of a second) an existing connection from client to server will be kept alive to be used for further invocations. The client ORB will shtudown a connection after the period specified (default 5 minutes)

The initial size of the connection table. This is resized automatically. It is not frequently changed.

OrbixWeb.IT_DAEMON_SERVER_BASE=2000

Servers that are launched in separate processes listen on their own port. This is the value of the first port, and subsequently allocated ports will increment by 1, until exceeding IT_DAEMON_SERVER_RANGE, at which point the port allocation will wrap. If a port cannot be allocated, a COMM_FAILURE exception will be thrown.

The default is 2000. Used by orbixdj only.

OrbixWeb.IT_DAEMON_SERVER_RANGE=2000

See Above
