Does TAO provide a configuration file for ORB initialization options?

I'm currently getting myself acquainted with TAO (www.theaceorb.com)

I've worked with omniORB in the past, and I used a config file in
conjunction with -ORBconfigFile to specify the ORB initialization options.

Is there such a possibilty with TAO, or do I always have to specify all
init options in the argv parameter for ORB_init() ?

cheers,
Martin

Just waiting for someone,
to jump from the shadows,
telling me why I'm wrong.

Not as one file. Some options are going through service configurator,
some can be done through the commandline, but all can be fixed as define
through ace/config.h

I understood the service configurator options are something different
from the initialization options. I read in the dev guide that the former
can be set through svc.conf, but I am currently more interested in the
easiest way to put stuff like -ORBDebug*, -ORBInitRef,
-ORBListenEndpoints, ... into a "ini" file so that this can be eaily
tweaked.

Well, I just downloaded the 2.0a package from
http://download.ociweb.com/TAO-2.0a/ACE+TAO-2.0a.zip ... should I use a
different download location?

Yes, I would recommend 2.0.6 from the link above. That is the
doc_group distribution which is more tested, has smaller footprint and
could be supported by all support companies out there. It is also the
focus of the tao mailing lists.
