  1. OMG Issue

CORBA24 — servant_to_id

  • Key: CORBA24-60
  • Legacy Issue Number: 3174
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Triodia Technologies Pty Ltd ( Michi Henning)
  • Summary:

    the following text in the spec could be made a bit clearer:

    2. If the POA has the IMPLICIT_ACTIVATION policy and either the
    POA has the MULTIPLE_ID policy or the specified servant is not
    active, the servant is activated using a POA-generated Object Id
    and the Interface Id associated with the servant, and that Object
    Id is returned.

    Although it is stated elsewhere that IMPLICIT_ACTIVATION requires SYSTEM_ID,
    it wouldn't hurt to reflect this here too:

    2. If the POA has the IMPLICIT_ACTIVATION policy and either the
    POA has the MULTIPLE_ID policy or the specified servant is not
    active and the POA has the SYSTEM_ID policy, the servant is
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    activated using a POA-generated Object Id
    and the Interface Id associated with the servant, and that Object
    Id is returned.

    Another question:

    What should be returned if the USER_ID policy is present?

    The spec doesn't say. Given that we can't add a new user exception,
    OBJ_ADAPTER seems appropriate.
