Step 1: Create an IDL Interface In this step you will map the IDL to Java in order to define the contract between the server and client for your application. The code for this is language independent and will not look like your traditional Java code. Create a new IDL file using your downloaded IDLTOJAVA compiler. Name the file, Liberty.idl and enter the following code: module LibertyApp { interface Liberty { String libertyU(); }; }; This Liberty U application will only have a single operation. This is all the code that you will need for this step.

Step 2: Mapping Liberty.idl to Java In this step you will create the required java files through the IDLTOJAVA tool. Open up your command line prompt. Change the directory to the location of your Liberty.idl file. Enter the compiler command: idltojava Liberty.idl You will see that a directory called LibertyApp has been created and it will contain 5 files. Open up Liberty.java. I will contain these lines of code: /* Liberty.java as generated by idltojava */ package LibertyApp; public interface Liberty extends org.omg.CORBA.Object { String libertyU(); }

Step 3: Create LibertyClient.java Copy and paste the code into LibertyClient.java import LibertyApp.*; // The package containing your stubs. import org.omg.CosNaming.*; // LibertyClient will use the naming service. import org.omg.CORBA.*; // All CORBA applications need these classes. public class LibertyClient { public static void main(String args[]) { try{ // create and initialize the ORB ORB orb = ORB.init(args, null); // get the root naming context org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef = orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService"); NamingContext ncRef = NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef); // resolve the object reference in naming NameComponent nc = new NameComponent("Liberty", ""); NameComponent path[] = {nc}; Liberty libertyRef = LibertyHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path)); // call the Liberty server object and print results String liberty = libertyRef.libertyU(); System.out.println(liberty); } catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("ERROR : " + e); e.printStackTrace(System.out); } } } Save and close LibertyClient.java

Step 4: Create a Liberty U Server Create a file called LibertyServer.java Copy and paste this code into your file: // included are all packages imported in order to make this app work import LibertyApp.*; import org.omg.CosNaming.*; import org.omg.CosNaming.NamingContextPackage.*; import org.omg.CORBA.*; public class LibertyServer { public static void main(String args[]) { try{ // create and initialize the ORB ORB orb = ORB.init(args, null); // create the servant and register it with the ORB LibertyServant libertyRef = new LibertyServant(); orb.connect(libertyRef); // get root naming context org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef = orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService"); NamingContext ncRef = NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef); // bind the object reference in naming NameComponent nc = new NameComponent("Liberty", ""); NameComponent path[] = {nc}; ncRef.rebind(path, libertyRef); // wait for invocations from clients java.lang.Object sync = new java.lang.Object(); synchronized(sync){ sync.wait(); } } catch(Exception e) { System.err.println("ERROR: " + e); e.printStackTrace(System.out); } } } class LibertyServant extends _LibertyImplBase { public String libertyU() { return " Liberty U!! "; } }

Step 5: Compile and run LibertyU Application Compile both LibertyClient.java and LibertyServer.java. You should see the following classes created once you do: LibertyClient.class, LibertyServer.class and LibertyServant.class. Run the application from the command prompt. Start the Java IDL name server with the following command: tnameserv ORBInitialPort nameserverport Open up a second command prompt and start the Liberty server with the following command: java LibertyServer ORBInitialHost nameserverhost -ORBInitialPort nameserverport Open up a third command prompt and run the Liberty application client with the the following command: java LibertyClient ORBInitialHost nameserverhost -ORBInitialPort nameserverport The client will return the string from the server to the command line: Liberty U!! Turn off tnameserv and LibertyServer processes after the client application returns successfully.

Deliverables: Take a screen shot of the Liberty U!! command prompt output and save it to the java project folder. Compress all of the files within your java project and upload it to the final project assignment link.
