The first step is to start the CORBA name service program, which typically runs on the same computer as the object server itself. The name server supplied with the JDK 1.2 is a transient name server - like the RMI registry, it does not save registered names in permanent storage. In other words, if you close the name server program, any registered names are lost.
Unlike the RMI registry however, the JDK transient name server actually displays something in its window - the info it displays is not particularly useful, but it's interesting to look at!
As before, this diagram shows the Microsoft Windows command to start the name server as a background process; see your operating system's documentation for more details.
