<para>The Java™ IDL Server Tool, <command>servertool</command>, provides the ease-of-use interface for the application programmers to <command>register</command>, <command>unregister</command>, <command>startup</command>, and <command>shutdown</command> a server. In addition to these four commands, other commands are provided to obtain various statistical information about the server.</para>
<para>When the server tool starts, enter one of the options at the <literal>servertool ></literal> prompt.</para>

This integer mapping is put
into the object key to help in locating the correct <acronym>ORB</acronym> in the server during requests on the Object Request Broker Daemon (<acronym>ORBD</acronym>). If the server is not already running, it is activated.</member></simplelist></para>
