Tom Jenkinson commented on JBTM-2296:
-------------------------------------

I was actually chatting to Gytis about this this morning on IRC. Allowing clients to resolve the transaction manager via an ORBInitialHost:ORBInitialPort combo seems easier than asking clients to retrieve the IOR from a shared location.

He is looking at sharing on the forum a prototype docker setup that:
1. Spins up the JacORB naming service on a known port first
2. Config Narayana to connect to the name service to register the IOR

Then a remote client just need the IP address of the docker VM plus this known port in order to connect to the transaction manager, rather than access to the CosServices.cfg.

The other option we considered is to use a configurable name for the CosServices.cfg based on the node name so that we can have a variable number of them:
https://github.com/jbosstm/narayana/blob/master/ArjunaJTS/orbportability/classes/com/arjuna/orbportability/common/OrbPortabilityEnvironmentBean.java#L114
That would require sharing those files in a manner similar to our current POC.
