StockMarketClient.java

/**
* StockMarketClient
*/
import org.omg.CORBA.*; // All CORBA applications need these classes.
import org.omg.CosNaming.*; // Client will use the naming service
import SimpleStocks.*; // The package containing our stubs.

public class StockMarketClient {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {
      // Create and initialize the ORB
      ORB orb = ORB.init(args, null);

      // Get the root naming context
      NamingContext ncRef = NamingContextHelper.narrow(orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService"));

      // Resolve the object reference in naming
      NameComponent path[] = {new NameComponent("NASDAQ", "")};
      StockMarket market = StockMarketHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path));

      // Call the StockMarket server object and print results
      System.out.println("Price of MY COMPANY is $" + market.get_price("MY_COMPANY"));
    } catch( Exception e ) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
