[Ace-users] [tao-users] Event Service and Consumers/Suppliers with persistent IORs

[Markus Debusmann]

Hi all,

I have a question concerning the use of the Event Service in combination 
with consumers/suppliers that use persistent IORs.

My principal idea was to use consumers/supplier with persistent IORs in 
order to prevent a multiple registration of a consumer/supplier crashed. 
When restarted the reregistration results in a lot of exceptions when 
the Event Service is trying to sent out consumers which not valid anymore.

Although the IORs of consumers/suppliers are persistent the Event 
Service handles them as a registration of a new consumers/suppliers. In 
case of consumers, this results in receiving all events twice. This 
proves to me that both IORs are still valid. But for some reason the 
Event Service does not throw an 'AlreadyRegistered' exception when 
reregistering after a crash.

I worked around this using transient IORs and letting the Event Service 
monitor broken links. This does very much the same except that the ES 
needs one exception to notify that the llink is broken.

I wonder why my approach using persistent IORs does not work.  Has 
someone similar experience?

Kind regards
Markus
