Just to close the loop on this, in the 1.n versions of Outrigger supported
the com.sun.jini.outrigger.spaceName property - but in 2.0 and beyond does
not. As Dan suggests you should use the initalLookupAttributes config
entry to attach a Name to an Outrigger server, and in general you will
need to adjust Outrigger's codebase and classpath to make this work.

It is worth noting that because of the jar file re-packaging we are
doing in Porter all the classes in net.jini.lookup.entry (including Name)
will be included in Outrigger's classpath and codebase, so in 2.1 you will
just be able to do the Name attachment without changing Outrigger's
codebase/classpath from its std. codebase/classpath.

Hope this helps
