<p>
To know the list of available <span class="acronym">CORBA</span> servers on your
local machine, the Bonobo Activation daemon searches a number of
directories for <code class="filename">.server</code> <span class="acronym">XML</span>
files which contain the description of the services offered by these
servers.
By default, Bonobo Activation will try to find them in
<code class="filename">${prefix}/lib/bonobo/servers</code> which may be a problem
if users install other applications using Bonobo Activation in different
prefixes.
</p>
<p>
To work around this problem, Bonobo Activation will parse a number of
other directories.
It will parse the directories listed in the
<code class="envar">BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH</code> environment variable.
It will parse the prefixes listed in the <code class="envar">GNOME2_PATH</code>
environment variable.
If, for example,
<span class="emphasis"><em>BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH=/opt/gnome2/lib/bonobo/servers:/opt/gnome2/bonobo-activation/lib/bonobo/servers</em></span>,
Bonobo Activation will parse
<span class="emphasis"><em>/opt/gnome2/lib/bonobo/servers</em></span> and
<span class="emphasis"><em>/opt/gnome2/bonobo-activation/lib/bonobo/servers</em></span>
If <span class="emphasis"><em>GNOME2_PATH=/opt/gnome2:/opt/gnome2/bonobo-activation</em></span>,
Bonobo Activation will parse
<span class="emphasis"><em>/opt/gnome2/lib/bonobo/servers</em></span> and
<span class="emphasis"><em>/opt/gnome2/bonobo-activation/lib/bonobo/servers</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
The above environment variables are kept to ease development with
Bonobo Activation and for <span class="acronym">GNOME</span> integration.
Bonobo Activation has a much nicer configuration file which allows
you to control which directories are parsed by Bonobo Activation.
This <span class="acronym">XML</span> configuration file is located in
<code class="filename">/etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml</code>
or
<code class="filename">${prefix}/etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml</code>.
An empty <code class="filename">bonobo-activation-config.xml</code> and a sample
<code class="filename">bonobo-activation-config.xml.sample</code> file should be
installed on your system.
</p>
<p>
It is recommended to use the
<span><strong class="command">bonobo-activation-sysconf</strong></span> command-line
configuration tool to edit this file. However, here is an example of its
format.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<oafconfig>
<searchpath>
<item>/opt/gnome2/lib/bonobo/servers</item>
<item>/usr/local/gnome2/lib/bonobo/servers</item>
<item>/usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers</item>
<item>/opt/gnome2/bonobo-activation/lib/bonobo/servers</item>
</searchpath>
<searchpath>
<item>/opt/gnome2/bonobo-activation/lib/bonobo/servers</item>
</searchpath>
</oafconfig></pre>
<p>
There can be any number of <code class="sgmltag-element">item</code> tags in a
<code class="sgmltag-element">searchpath</code> tag and any number of
<code class="sgmltag-element">searchpath</code> tags in the <code class="sgmltag-element">oafconfig</code>
tag.
