I'm not sure I totally follow this, but is sounds like a classic
circular dependency problem.
To start with using KernelRegistry.getSingleKernel() or looking up
references via getGBean are both highly discouraged. It is better
use either a GBean reference or to pass a reference to 'this' to the
corba socket factory in the doStart method (you should never publish
a public 'this' reference from a constructor).
In this case can we change the socket factory so it has a create
method taking the orb or a create method that takes the information
it extracts from the orb?

I think I've run into a classic chicken-and-egg problem trying to
get yoko hooked into Geronimo.
Let me recap the situation first, and the consensus solution we
came up with earlier. To fully enable the SSL transport for Yoko,
it's necessary to cause Yoko to load a socket factory object that
will be used to sort out what sort of sockets need to get created
for a given connection situation. This socket factory needs access
to information held by the creating CORBABean or CSSBean object.
The socket factory is enabled by setting an argument on the call to
ORB.init() to identify the name of the socket factory class, and
there's an additional optional argument that can contain a single
string value that's passed to the socket factory's init() method.
So, to hook the socket factory back to the launching CORBABean or
CSSBean object, the socket factory argument value is set to the
abstract name for the associated bean instance, and the socket
factor init() method retrieves the reference using:
Kernel kernel = KernelRegistry.getSingleKernel();
config = (ORBConfiguration)kernel.getGBean(new
AbstractName(new URI(configName)));
I'm getting the ORB launched, the socket factory class is getting
loaded and the init() is failing with the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: GBean is not running:
org.apache.geronimo.configs/j2ee-corba/1.2-SNAPSHOT/car?
ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.configs/j2ee-corba/1.2-SNAPSHOT/
car,j2eeType=CORBABean,name=Server
In the calling sequence, the ORB is initialized in the CORBABean or
CSSBean doStart() method, so these beans are not yet in a started
state when the socket factory gets initialized. I'm unable to
delay resolution of the bean because the first actions required of
the socket factory occur before the doStart() methods return.
The best solution I've come up thus far would be to keep a private
registry of the beans in the ORBConfigAdapter class as static
methods, and have the SocketFactory use that to retrieve the
reference. I'd rather not resort to that if there is a better
solution.
