CORBA34 — HomeExecutorBase should have a get_servant method

The HomeExecutorBase should have a get_servant method. When creating component or facet reference of service or session component, the first step is creating the object reference and associating its PortableServer::ObjectId with servant. Currently, the container manages executor, but the HomeExecutorBase interface does not provide a mechanism to get servant. The method would be very useful as it means the container can use executor to get servant, which is not possible now.

Resolution:

Replace the following text in formal/02-06-05 on page 3-40

module Components { local interface HomeExecutorBase {}; };

with

module Components { local interface HomeExecutorBase

; };

and add the operation description

get_servant

The get_servant operation returns a reference to the servant.
