ADA13 — ptc/99-02-02: Impl side mapping and the POA

Summary: Has the Ada RTF considered the generation of a POA_<interface_name>
package for the Impl side mapping?

This is the approach taken by the C and C++ mappings, and has
the advantage of keeping the Impl package completely free of
code required by the ORB.

Discussion:
This approach was considered during the initial mapping development in 1995. It was
rejected because it would preclude inheritance of a servant type from a servant mapped
from a parent IDL interface, a use case considered much more important than the
advantage cited. The use of “tie” implementations can achieve the cited advantage.
Disposition: Closed, no change
