CORBA35 — Negotiate Session Message Orientation

  • Key: CORBA35-294
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6284
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adiron, LLC ( Polar Humenn)
  • Summary:

    The NegotiateSession message is a single typed GIOP message that is sent
    between both Client and Server to negotiation service contexts, and
    further to initiate and negotiate bidirectional GIOP.

    Having a single message is problematic in that a connection, once
    negotiated bidirectional may have different requirements for such things
    like Codesets, etc. Getting a NegotiateSession message after a
    bidrectional set up, the endpoints will have difficulty discerning the
    orientation of the NegotiateSession message.

    At the very least NegotateSession messages should have an orientation,
    much like the GIOP Request and Reply messages do.

    I'm not so sure they must be correlated with a "request id", but different
    message types would help. I would suggest two messages,
    NegotiateSessionRequest and NegotiateSessionReply to maintain the
    client-server orientation, respectively.
