Dear Zoltán-san

Thank you for contacting me.
It is not a problem to send this kind of questions to the mailing-list at all.
Please do not hesitate to send question to the mailing-list.

Thank you for extending OpenRTM to use Ice. I'm very interested in
your extension.
Can we have a meeting about it when I visit Hungary on next month?
Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing you in Budapest.

rtshell http://www.openrtm.org/openrtm/en/content/tools
will help you to know how to handle RTCs functionalities.

What is the full name of the Component?

If you mean the name on the CORBA name server, it is not an
official CORBA object's name of the component. The name on
the CORBA name server can be specified by rtc.conf's configuration
"naming.formats" parameter.
See http://www.openrtm.org/openrtm/en/content/configuration

And this name can have multiple formats. It means you can
register your RTC's names on the CORBA name service like
 "/a/b/c/mycomp0.rtc"
and
 "/room0/robot4/cameras/mycomp0.rtc"
simultaneously.

If you mean the name of actual CORBA object, which can be
used in the corbaloc URI scheme, usual RTCs has no CORBA
object name. In other words RTC has no human readable CORBA
object key.

If you just want to get your RTC's name on CORBA name servers,
you can get it from RTObject_impl::getNamingNames() function.
See details in the following class reference.

http://www.openrtm.org/openrtm/en/content/openrtm-aist-class-references
http://www.openrtm.org/OpenRTM-aist/documents/current/cxx/classreference_en/classRTC_1_1RTObject__impl.html#ac386930b2987bbca3e9576bdb78108b2

getNamingNames() returns multiple names to be registered on CORBA name servers.
The following code is an example to print them.

  coil::vstring n = getNamingNames();
  for (size_t i(0); i < n.size(); ++i)
    {
      std::cout << "name[" << i << "]: " << n[i] << std::endl;
    }

But getNamingNames() might not return right values before calling
onInitialized().

Noriaki Ando
