CORBA24 — Expected behavior of POA configured with ServantLocator receiving LocateRe

  • Key: CORBA24-187
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2791

  • Summary:

    Summary: This is an issue with the Portable Object Adapter:

    If a POA configured with a ServantLocator receives a LocateRequest, what
    is the expected behavior? A ServantLocator expects to receive an operation
    name as a parameter to preinvoke() and postinvoke(), but there is no
    operation name in a LocateRequest.

    We could just return a true response to the LocateRequest and not involve
    the ServantLocator. That might mislead the sender though. If the sender
    received a true response and then sent a message they might get an
    OBJECT_NOT_EXIST exception back.

    We could pass an operation name like "_locate" to the manager. That would
    let the manager know that a location request was being processed, and the
    underscore would signify that it is an internal message since it"s not a
    _get or _set.
