3 This directory contains an MFC-based CosNaming viewer that that allows
4 users to manipulate a Naming Context visually.
9 . Displays the entries of a naming context graphically in a
12 . Supports configuration of different naming servers.
13 Configuration is stored in the registry.
15 . Double clicking on an object in the tree will open a dialog to
16 examine the object reference. This dialog will display the
17 stringified object reference, repository ID and profile
20 . Supports binding, unbinding, context creation and context
21 destroying. User the right mouse button to pull up the
24 . Supports iterator returned from listing a context
26 . Initializes ORB with the command line arguments passed into
29 . Supports resizing of the main window.
31 . Control-c copies the IOR of the currently selected object to
37 . Add support for showing the components in an IOR's profile
38 (need a patch in TAO before we can do this).
40 . Display the object key for a profile.
42 . Add support for recursive destroys of contexts.
44 . Add support for "pingable" objects. Pingable objects would
45 be pinged and the viewer could then graphically display
46 those objects that were "alive" and those that were not
49 . Add configuration options like number of objects to fetch
50 per list, auto expanding of the tree, default naming
53 . Add support for cutting/moving/copying objects in the tree?
55 . Add ability to configure what is displayed for each entry in
58 . Right now its just the id and kind, but we could also add in
59 the repository id and primary profile.
64 . Need to find a better way of displaying the kind attribute
65 in a Name. Right now we use "." which is ambiguous.
66 Perhaps a different color?
68 . Consider getting rid of the Select NS button and the name of
69 the name service from the main window. Put the name of the
70 server in the window title and allow the user to select a
71 new NS from the system menu.
