Unexpected exception while processing events
org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: Communication failure
Cause
If Orbix is already running on the system, starting another instance will result in the above errors
Resolution
To correct this issue, ensure that Orbix is already started. Continue to start up the rest of the Xellerate servers.
