Issues Descriptions

Invalid IDL

  • Legacy Issue Number: 18150
  • Status: open  
  • Source: grisby.org ( Duncan Grisby)
  • Summary:

    In the ZIOP 1.0 specification, the IDL in Annex A has:

    typedef unsigned short CompressorId { };

    The braces are invalid and should be removed.

  • Reported: ZIOP 1.0 — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 04:00 GMT

Invalid IDL (2)

  • Legacy Issue Number: 18151
  • Status: open  
  • Source: grisby.org ( Duncan Grisby)
  • Summary:

    In the ZIOP 1.0 specification, Annex A has:

    Compressor get_compressor(
    in CompressorId compressor_id,
    in CompressorLevel compression_level)
    raises (UnknownCompressorId);

    CompressorLevel should be CompressionLevel.

Missing PolicyValue encoding instructions

  • Legacy Issue Number: 18152
  • Status: open  
  • Source: grisby.org ( Duncan Grisby)
  • Summary:

    Section 17.3.1 of CORBA 3.1 / 3.2 says:

    17.3.1 Structures

    PolicyValue

    This structure contains the value corresponding to a Policy of the
    PolicyType indicated by its ptype. This representation allows the
    compact transmission of QoS policies within IORs and Service
    Contexts. **The format of pvalue for each type is given in the
    specification of that Policy.**

    When the ZIOP 1.0 specification describes the ZIOP policies, it does not
    give the format for pvalue.

Missing size information for decompress()

  • Legacy Issue Number: 18153
  • Status: open  
  • Source: grisby.org ( Duncan Grisby)
  • Summary:

    The ZIOP body format contains the original length of the compressed
    data, which is important because it allows the compressor to efficiently
    allocate a buffer to uncompress it. Unfortunately, the
    Compressor::decompress() operation is not given that size, meaning that
    it has to guess how big the uncompressed data will be.

    The original data size should be given to the decompress() operation.
    One way to do that without changing the operation signature would be to
    specify that the inout Buffer target sequence should have its length
    pre-populated to the expected size.

COM/CORBA keywords

  • Legacy Issue Number: 2009
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: I can"t find in the COM/CORBA spec parts A and B any mention of how to
    deal with IDL identifiers that are keywords to the Microsoft "mktyplib" tool.
    This tool mangles the following identifier (not necessarily a complete list) by
    prepending them with "_":

    "BSTR", "CALLCONV", "coclass", "CY",
    "CURRENCY", "DATE", "DECIMAL", "DISPID", "DISPPARAMS",
    "dual", "EXCEPINFO", "guid", "GUID",
    "HRESULT", "importlib", "IDispatch",
    "INTERFACEDATA", "IUnknown", "LCID",
    "METHODDATA", "odl", "oleautomation",
    "PARAMDATA", "properties", "propget", "propput", "retval",
    "SAFEARRAY", "SAFEARRAYBOUND", "SCODE",
    "VARIANT", "VARIANTARG", "VARIANT_BOOL",
    "VARTYPE", "VARENUM"

    As far as I can tell, the output of the "mktyplib" tool makes use
    (directly or indirectly) of the regular C++ bindings, whose identifiers
    are not mangled the same way. This makes it impossible to emit COM bindings
    for IDL files that contain the above keywords.

    The problem that I"m running into is in CosTrading IDL, where the identifier
    "properties" is used.

Implications of any/valuetype marshalling

  • Legacy Issue Number: 4137
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Iconixx ( Thomas Hawker)
  • Summary:

    RE: CCM chapters document [orbrev] 99-10-04, section 61.6.2, page 61-45.
    The document citation indicates that the integrity of the valuetype –
    that is, the received marshalled state – is to be preserved in an
    ORB-mediated operation, even if that valuetype cannot be unmarshalled,
    either partially (truncated) or at all. If this value is then passed to
    another operation, the original marshalled state is to be transmitted.
    This preserves the transmitted object in its entirety, regardless of
    local implementation concerns. This is obviously necessary for bridges
    or event processing, such as through the notification service.

    So the question arises, what happens if you have a partial (truncated)
    unmarshall and the recipient application changes the local state of the
    valuetype through its attributes or local operations? How can/will you
    even know the state was changed? Do you ignore the changes and send the
    originally received marshalled stream, send only the new valuetype even
    though it is a truncation of the original, or "merge" the new values for
    the unmarshalled part followed by the original appended data for the
    truncated part? Should this third option be possible through an
    explicit ORB call – that is, the application is responsible to identify
    the change in state to the ORB? I assume that the semantics of
    "truncatable" must come to include the understanding that data in the
    truncatable portions may not be contextually dependent on the inherited
    parent of the valuetype.

    As a further question, is there a reason why this semantic
    interpretation should not be extended to be a general requirement rather
    than only with respect to transmission of anys? My experience has found
    that passing anys tends to be expensive and is avoided where it can be.
    A more general interpretation permits transmission of a comprehensive
    data structure among intermediate agents that only use (unmarshall) the
    information they need.

69.3 AssemblyFactory Interface

  • Key: CORBA35-69
  • Legacy Issue Number: 5576
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Raytheon ( Jerry Bickle)
  • Summary:

    Suggested changes to the AssemblyFactory interface.

    AssemblyFactory Issues.

    1. Ease of use Issue. After the create operation is performed, one is
    force to call lookup to get the Assembly that just got just created. Why is
    a cookie returned by the create operation instead of an Assembly? Is the
    reason because of security? If the interface were more open this would
    still allow a secure implementation to be implemented.
    Suggested change is to return an Assembly instead of a Cookie. Change
    destroy operation to take in an Assembly parameter instead of Cookie.
    Change lookup operation to take in a name parameter. These changes
    make it consistent with the other CCM interfaces, such as Container,
    KeyLessCCMHome, ComponentServer, and ServerActivator.
    2. Multiple users Issue. For multiple users, how does a client know what
    assemblies are created. Add a get_assemblies operation that returns a list
    of assemblies. These changes make it consistent with other CCM interfaces,
    such as Container, ComponentServer, and ServerActivator.
    3. User-friendly identifier for Assembly Instance issue. Add an input
    name parameter that can be assigned to the Assembly instance that gets
    created. Add a read only name or label attribute to the Assembly interface.

    class (Page 8-10 of the CCM Spec).

    *) With EnumDef there is the same problem, I guess a assotiation from EnumDef to
    string (1<>----->*) would solve it (Page 8-10 of the CCM Spec).

    *) Also with ExceptionDif and its attribute members (Page 8-11 of the CCM Spec).

Polymorphic Valuetypes and the DII

  • Legacy Issue Number: 3674
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Humboldt-Universitaet ( Martin von Loewis)
  • Summary:

    Using the static invocation interfaces, it is possible to receive a
    valuetype that derives from the one declared in an operation, as long
    as a valuetype factory is known in the receiver (truncation is not the
    issue here).

    The same is not possible at the DII: When creating the request, the
    caller must indicate what type it expects, by forming a named value.
    Conceptually, the typecode in the named value should be the typecode
    of the base of all acceptable value types. However, if the ORB
    receives a derived type, it has no means of unmarshalling it - even if
    the application has knowledge about the derived type.

    What is missing is an interface to make typecodes of value types known
    to the ORB; with those, the ORB could then understand the CDR of the
    valuetype, and create a DynAny when asked to.

Custom Value Marshaling Issue

  • Legacy Issue Number: 3097
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Camros Corporation ( Jeffrey Marshall)
  • Summary:

    Due to the way that custom values are marshaled it is
    nearly impossible for a bridge (or other process) to
    process/forward GIOP messages which contain custom
    marshaled values (which the bridge has no compile/run-time
    knowledge of).

    The main issue is that the "alignment" of the
    custom marshaled data is unknown, other than the
    data will always start on a four byte boundry due
    to the presence of chunking.

    Should/could the value encoding format be changed to
    enforce eight byte alignment for all custom marshaled
    data (chunks)? This would allow bridges and other
    tools to process->[store]->forward messages containing
    custom values.

BiDir GIOP Policy Clarification

  • Legacy Issue Number: 4115
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Network Associates ( Brian Niebuhr)
  • Summary:

    I am a little confused as to the scope of the BiDirPolicy in the 2.4.1
    specification. Is the BiDirPolicy a POA policy, an ORB policy, or both? In
    section 15.8 paragraph 5 on page 15-55, the specification states:

    "If the client ORB policy permits bi-directional use
    of a connection, a Request message should contain an IOP::ServiceContext
    structure in its Request header, which indicates that this GIOP connection
    is bi-directional."

    but then in section 15.9 paragraph 4 on page 15-59, the specification
    states:

    "In the absence of a BidirectionalPolicy being passed in the
    PortableServer::POA::create_POA operation, a POA will assume a policy value
    of
    NORMAL."

    but then again in the next sentence the specification states:

    "A client and a server ORB must each have a BidirectionalPolicy with a value
    of
    BOTH for bi-directional communication to take place."

    Could someone clarify for me what the intent for the scope of the policy was
    here, and what the rationale behind that decision was? We are currently
    reviewing how to use/fix BiDirIIOP in our submission to the firewall RFP,
    and I would like to understand the issues regarding the scope of the BiDir
    policy.

  • Summary:

    In section 4.2.5 of the CCM spec formal/02-06-65, it is said that "Servant lifetime policies may be defined for each segment within a component", but there is no way to do it. Lifetime policy is declared in the CCD descriptor of the component, as an attribute of the "servant" XML element, and is implicitly applied on all the segments of the component(when it is segmented) !

    Suggested resolution: to leave the servant element as it is, expressing a DEFAULT lifetime policy, and to add the same servant element as an optional child of the segment element. This will specify the lifetime policy of the segment and override the defautl one. DTD has to be changed as follows :

    <!ELEMENT segment

    It would be very useful to include a small example to illustrate
    how to configure a component directly by using attributes.

    Summary: Description:
    Clarification is needed on the passing of credentials.
    Section 4.7.3 states that "Since all proxies will have access to the IOR of
    the target object, and the certificate of the client, they can judge whether
    this client may use a pass-through connection or not." Section 4.12 states
    that "When a client establishes a normal connection to a target via a
    trusted proxy and uses a secure transport (e.g. IIOP/SSL), in order to
    achieve end-to-end authentication, the proxy will have to forward the
    client"s certificate/identity to the server." Section 4.12 implies that the
    ForwardedIdentity service context will only be used when using a secure
    transport, but section 4.7.3 implies that the client certificate will always
    be available. In fact, the ForwardedIdentity service context should only be
    used in the case of a NORMAL connection using a secure transport because
    those are the only conditions under which there is a notion of trust between
    a requestor and the recipient of that request. This means that the only
    mechanism upon which to base a decision of whether or not to allow a
    PASSTHRU connection is the source host address/port.

issue on component supporting abstract interfaces

  • Key: CORBA35-54
  • Legacy Issue Number: 5910
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Laboratoire d`Informatique Fondamentale de Lille ( Raphael Marvie)
  • Summary:

    The following information is sent in order for the specification to
    clearly state if components and local interfaces can support abstract
    interfaces (the specification is confusing on this point).

    CORBA 3.0.1 does not explicitely states if a component can support an
    abstract interface, thus it can be considered that it is possible. If so
    a big problem arises as local interfaces inheriting abstract ones is
    confusing in the specification.

    In addition, it is neither explicitely stated that provides and uses
    declarations can or cannot be of types defined through abstract
    interfaces. It does not seem to make sense for a port to be an abstract
    type. Facets will never be used by value, and an operation cannot
    (should not) return the reference of a facet or a valuetype (which would
    be in favor of provides to be defined using abstract interfaces).

      • Problem

    Consider the following definitions which are correct regarding
    formal/02-12-06:

    /* omg idl3 */

    abstract interface I

    { void foo () ; } ;


    component C supports I {
    } ;


    The mapping to OMG IDL2 of these definitions is not correct right now as
    they become:


    /* omg idl2 */


    abstract interface I { void foo () ; }

    ;

    interface C : Components::CCMObject, I { } ;

    local interface CCM_C : I { } ;

    According to formal/02-12-06, the last line may not be correct. Local
    interfaces may not inherit abstract interfaces (section 10.5.28). (I use
    may as it is confusing and can lead to various understanding of the
    spec.)

      • Potential solutions:

    1. State in the CORBA 3.0.1 that components cannot support abstract
    interfaces. In favor: Could ne considered as a minor change. Against: a
    component reference cannot be returned by an operation that can return
    an object by value or by reference. This solution looks cleaner that the
    second one from a software engineering point of view.

    2. Clearly state that components and local interfaces can support
    abstract interfaces. This use may be surprising from a software
    engineering point of view, but may be important for some users. This
    bring back the debate "quality vs powerfulness".

    In any case, I think it should be clearly stated if local interfaces may
    or may not inherit abstract ones.

How does an ORB implement Object::get_policy for PI defined policies?

  • Legacy Issue Number: 4065
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Floorboard Software ( Jonathan Biggar)
  • Summary:

    The description for Object::get_policy (in the Core, section 4.3.7.1)
    states:

    "The get_policy operation returns the policy object of the specified
    type (see Policy Object on page 4-32), which applies to this object. It
    returns the effective Policy for the object reference. The effective
    Policy is the one that would be used if a request were made."

    For a policy defined by PI, I don't see anyway for the ORB to implement
    this operation correctly, since there isn't any way for it to know how
    to properly resolve any client override policies with the policy
    information stored in the IOR.

    When a invocation is actually in process, the ClientRequestInterceptor
    can use the information available in the ClientRequestInfo interface to
    get the client override and the IOR policy data and do the correct
    resolution before continuing with the request. However,
    Object::get_policy() needs to do the same type of thing, but it has no
    invocation context to do it in.

    I think the same problem also applies to the implementation of
    ClientRequestInfo::get_request_policy().

    I think we need a new interception point to do this work. Something
    like:

    local interface PolicyInterceptor

    { any determine_effective_policy(in PolicyInfo pi); }

    ;

    local interface PolicyInfo

    { readonly attribute Object target; readonly attribute Object effective_target; readonly attribute IOP::TaggedProfile effective_profile; IOR::TaggedComponent get_effective_component (in IOP::ComponentId id); IOP_N::TaggedComponentSeq get_effective_components (in IOP::ComponentId id); }

    ;

    If this turns out to be an acceptable solution, then we should also
    change ClientRequestInfo to:

    local interface ClientRequestInfo : RequestInfo, PolicyInfo

    { ... }

    ;

    and remove the redundant operations.

    Document: orbos/2000-08-04, CSIv2 Joint Submission
    Subject: Identity Assertion of X.501 Distinguished Name is not good enough
    Severity: Critical

    Summary:

    The Identity Token union contains a branch that is labled
    X501DistinguishedName. A single DN is insufficient to identify an entity.
    A path of X501Distinguished Names is needed instead. Also, other concerns
    about naming types are raised.

    Discussion:

    An X.501 Distinguished Name is insufficient to identify a single entity.
    The name must be accompanied by the name of its defining authority. In the
    case of public key certificates, the names certificate authority must be
    included.

    The chain of DNs in this manner must be included up to a root authority
    to have any definitive meaning.

    This approach will be consistent with the client sending a X.509
    Certificate Chain. A DN path is actually defined by the certificate chain.

    Furthermore, the DN path should only come from an authority that is
    acceptable to the server, whether it be a DN path, or an X.509
    Certificate Chain.

    The IOR should list the acceptable authorities and their name types.

    It is becoming more an more evident that we must invent GSS_NT_Export_Name
    types for X.509 Certificate Chain and X.501 DN path.

    The SAS_ContextSec structure should list, instead of the naming types,
    the naming authorities!

    We shall assume that the name types of the asserted identities shall be
    the same as the name types of listed naming authorities in the IOR.

    This is the only way this procedure can work Interoperable and without

DynValue & custom valuetypes

  • Legacy Issue Number: 3459
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Floorboard Software ( Jonathan Biggar)
  • Summary:

    The CORBA 2.3.1 specification does not cover the interaction between the
    DynValue interface and custom valuetypes.

    I frankly don't see any way that the DynValue interface can possibly
    correctly handle a custom valuetype when the ORB does not have a factory
    for the type. It is theoretically possible for DynValue to properly
    work with a known custom type, but the implementation strategy could not
    be based on parsing the marshalled form of the valuetype.

    So, there are two issues that need to be addressed:

    1. Should DynValue handle custom valuetypes at all?

    2. For the set of custom valuetypes that it cannot handle, what
    exceptions should be raised by each operations?

The association of entity component primary key and PSS key is unclear

    Issue: The association of entity component primary key and PSS key is unclear. There is only one attribute as the primary key in the CCM entity component, PSS has no primary key. An entity can be identified uniquely by the PSS key, but currently PSS permits several keys, and each PSS key can be composed of several attributes. Consequently, it is difficult to establish association between entity component primary key and PSS key, and the create and find methods can not to be mapped to the corresponding methods of PSS.

Potential deadlock with POA::deactivate_object()

  • Legacy Issue Number: 2772
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    The draft CORBA 2.3 spec (ptc/99-03-07) does not deal with a potential deadlock situation. If an object is explicitly deactivated with POA::deactivate_object(), the object remains in the active object map until all operations pending on the object have completed. Any attempts to reactivate the object (implicitly via a ServantActivator, or explicitly via activate_object_with_id()) must block until the pending invocations have completed. However, if a servant's implementation of an object deactivates the object and then (directly or indirectly through a call to another collocated object) reactivates the object, the invocation will deadlock.

ObjectCreationError and Nofactory exceptions in Externilazition

    Summary: There is a bit of confusion in the specification concerning the

    The internalize operation can raise CosLifeCycle::NoFactory and
    StreamDataFormatError exceptions. This operation calls the
    internalize_from_stream operation of the Streamable interface that can
    raise the CosLifeCycle::NoFactory, StreamDataFormatError, and
    ObjectCreationError exceptions.The last paragraph on page 8-20 (August
    1997 release) states that the ObjectCreationError and
    StreamDataFormatError exceptions of the internalize_from_stream
    operation originate from the read_object amd read_<type> operations on
    the StreamIO interface. However, the ObjectCreationError is not raised
    by any of these, according to the IDL in figure 8-6.

Generic connectivity for Receptacles, Emitters, Publishers

  • Key: CORBA35-45
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7556
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Zuehlke Engineering ( Frank Pilhofer)
  • Summary:

    The CCMObject interface contains numerous operations for generic
    connection management (in addition to the type-specific operations
    defined by equivalent IDL for a component).

    However, there's a separate set of "connect" and "disconnect"
    operations for each kind of port, i.e., receptacles, emitters and
    publishers. This is inconvenient for generic software that treats
    ports generically, such as the deployment infrastructure in an
    implementation of the Deployment and Configuration specification.

    The set of operations might even get larger in the future, when
    Streams for CCM becomes available.

    I thus propose to add generic "connect_feature" and "disconnect_
    feature" operations that is able to interconnect compatible ports
    regardless of the type of port.

    Proposed resolution:

    In section 1.11.1, "CCMObject Interface," add the following two
    operations to the CCMObject interface:

    module Components {
    interface CCMObject : Navigation, Receptacles, Events

    { Cookie connect_feature (in FeatureName name, in Object connection) raises (InvalidName, InvalidConnection, AlreadyConnected, ExceededConnectionLimit); void disconnect_feature (in FeatureName name, in Cookie ck) raises (InvalidName, InvalidConnection, CookieRequired, NoConnection); /* other operations as before */ }

    ;
    };

    Add the following explanation to the same section:

    connect_feature

    The connect_feature operation connects the object reference
    specified by the connection parameter to the component feature
    specified by the name parameter. The feature must be either a
    receptacle, emitter or publisher port.

    If the feature identified by the name parameter is a receptacle
    port, the connect_feature operation acts equivalent to calling
    the connect operation on the Receptacles interface.

    If the feature identified by the name parameter is an emitter
    port, the connect_feature operation acts equivalent to calling
    the connect_consumer operation on the Events interface. A nil
    "cookie" value is returned.

    If the feature identified by the name parameter is a publisher
    port, the connect_feature operation acts equivalent to calling
    the subscribe operation on the Events interface.

    If the feature identified by the name parameter is neither
    receptacle, emitter or publisher port, or if the component does
    not have any feature by that name, the InvalidName exception is
    raised.

    disconnect_feature

    The disconnect_feature operation dissolves the connection
    identified by the ck cookie to the component feature specified
    by the name parameter.

    If the feature identified by the name parameter is a receptacle
    port, the disconnect_feature operation acts equivalent to calling
    the disconnect operation on the Receptacles interface.

    If the feature identified by the name parameter is an emitter
    port, the disconnect_feature operation raises the InvalidConnection
    exception if a non-nil cookie is passed as the ck parameter;
    otherwise, it acts equivalent to calling the disconnect_consumer
    operation on the Events interface.

    If the feature identified by the name parameter is a publisher
    port, the disconnect_feature operation acts equivalent to calling
    the unsubscribe operation on the Events interface.

    If the feature identified by the name parameter is neither
    receptacle, emitter or publisher port, or if the component does
    not have any feature by that name, the InvalidName exception is
    raised.

TypedConsumerAdmin interface (4.9.2))

  • Status: open

    Summary: in section 4.9.2 last paragraph:

    "Such a ProxyPushSupplier is guaranteed only to invoke operations defined in

    operation defined in interface I is NOT passed on to the consumer. Such a
    ProxyPushSupplier is therefore an event filter based on type".

    My question is: if we have this proxy to block generic calls (push() in this
    case) why does TypedPushConsumer inherit CosEventComm::PushConsumer, whish does
    support push() ? Why should the generic calls like push() be blocked anyway
    if (according to 4.7.1) TypedPushConsumer should support both typed and generic
    models ?

    Is there something I am misunderstanding ?

Contradictory sections in the CCM and Lightweight CCM specifications

  • Legacy Issue Number: 10142

  • Source: Leonardo S.p.A ( Simon McQueen)
  • Summary:

    I'd like to report an issue that exists in both the CORBA Component Model Specification (formal/06-04-01) and also the Lightweight CORBA Component Model specification (ptc/04-06-10) please.

    In section "6.11 Component Inheritance" of formal/06-04-01 there is the statement : "A derived component type may not directly support an interface."

    This same statement is made in "1.11 Component Inheritance" of ptc/04-06-10 and in "3.17.2.3 Component Inheritance" of the CORBA 3.0.3 spec (04-03-02).

    But, in both "6.3.2.4 Inheritance and supported interfaces" of formal/06-04-01 and "1.3.2.4 Inheritance and supported interfaces" of ptc/04-06-10 there is the following:

    "For a component declaration with the following form:

    component <component_name> : <base_name>
    supports <interface_name_1>, <interface_name_2>

    { … };


    the equivalent interface shall have the following form:
    interface <component_name>
    : <base_name>, <interface_name_1>, <interface_name_2> { … }

    ;"

    The above example is giving equivalent IDL for a declaration that the preceding statements regarding component inheritance say is not permitted. It should presumably be removed.

  • Summary:

    While editing the changes from the Firewall RTF into Core Chapter 15 I noticed a
    curious thing in the Firewall RTF report. It seems that the RTF chose to re-use
    a PolicyType id for a new and different policy while obsoleting a published one.
    The PolicyType Id in question is 37, which used to be BIDIRECTIONAL_POLICY_TYPE
    associated with the structure BiDirPolicy::BidirectionalPolicy

    and is now proposed to be BIDIRECTIONAL_INVOKE_POLICY associated with structure
    BiDirPolicy::InvokeMode.

    This appears to me to be a dangerous practice, since the fact that the published
    standard may have been implemented by someone using the obsolete definition.

    I would like to suggest that the recommendation of the Firewall RTF be modified
    leaving the published policy type and policy as is with a note stating that it
    is obsolete, and a new policy type id be allocated for
    BIDIRECTIONAL_INVOKE_POLICY.

    proposal).

    The use of the SSN number for this purpose is explained in chapter
    4.2.3 in the second paragraph in the ITU Recommendation Q.775.

    It should be easy to fix this as one only have to use the same naming
    tree structure proposed for the 1993 TCAP version in these cases.

    Given that a CORBA call is about 1 millisecond on average,
    this makes for a highly inefficient interface from a high-performance
    perspective,
    and renders the distribution of these interfaces undesirable, and the
    use of the TcPduProvider/User interfaces unlikely in a real system.

    Ideally this should be reduced to a minimum of 2 CORBA calls, one for a call
    going out, and one for the reply.

Why one to one association between a TcPduUser and TcPduProvider interface?

  • Legacy Issue Number: 2917
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Ericsson ( Neill Jones)
  • Summary:

    There is an assumption in the design that there is a one to one
    association between a TcPduUser and a TcPduProvider
    during a TC Session. This is enforced in the IDL through the
    call

    TcPduProvider::get_dialog_id()

    and the factory call

    TcPduProvider create_tc_pdu_provider(
    in TcPduUser user,
    out DialogId d_id)
    raises(NoMoreDialogs);

    Since the TcPduUser reference (or some sort of reference)
    is not passed over in get_dialog_id(), the only conclusion
    is that the reference has to be the one passed over in the
    create, and therefore that each TcPduProvider is tied to
    one and only one TcPduUser.

Traversal algorithm not sufficient

  • Legacy Issue Number: 2869
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Description:
    There may be some network topologies where the traversal
    algorithm is not sufficient for a firewall to find a server. This is due to
    an unstated assumption that all addresses within the outermost inbound
    firewall are addressable from the outermost inbound firewall. Consider for
    example the following topology:

    -----*Firewall
    B*-----Network B
    Internet -----Firewall A---------
    -----*Firewall
    C*-----Network C

    Service Network (DMZ)

    Assume that the addresses on the service network are
    globally routable addresses, Network B uses RFC 1597 addresses and Network C
    uses RFC 1597 addresses. This topology could be possible, say for a
    government agency that has sub-agencies that share some resources (service
    network) but maintain separately administrated networks. In this case the
    outermost inbound firewall for a server on Network B or C is Firewall A.
    However, when new target is invoked on Firewall A, it won"t know from the
    host address whether to open a connection to Firewall B or Firewall C.

    Proposed Solution:
    There are several possible solutions to this problem:
    1) Explicitly state the assumption described in the
    description section
    2) Mandate that implementations allow for the
    configuration of the next inbound firewalls
    3) Mandate that servers on Network B or C in such
    configurations use Firewall B or C as the outermost inbound firewall.

    There may be other solutions to this problem. These were
    the ones that immediately presented themselves.

    These problems arise due to a lack of required information about firewall

    required that the servers place the entire chain of server-side firewalls
    that must be traversed into the IOR. Specifically, the first paragraph in
    section 4.8 should be modified so that the entire chain of firewalls is
    always required, or those situations in which it should be required should
    be stated. Some of those situations are outlined in the following issues.
    Specifically, it is incorrect to state that "strictly it is only necessary
    to convey information on the outermost inbound firewall."

    this will work in some cases, it is not interoperable because there are
    cases when reusing PASSTHRU connections will not work. For example,
    connection reuse when SSL is in use will not work because all of the
    information that distinguishes data streams is contained within the
    encrypted portion of SSL packets. If two SSL connections try to share a
    single connection, there will be an SSL protocol failure because the server
    will not be able to separate the data streams before it processes the SSL

Proxified object references

  • Legacy Issue Number: 2865
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Proxified object references obtained by invoking
    new_target() should not be passed between ORBs. Instead the original IOR
    containing the target and firewall information should be passed. The reason
    for this is that the IOR does not contain enough information to inform the
    second ORB whether or not it is a reference for a NORMAL or PASSTHRU
    connection, or whether it is a proxified reference at all. This issue is
    very tightly related to issue 2, so we will describe how it fails for each
    of the possible solutions to the PASSTHRU establishment problem outlined in
    issue 2.
    One solution for which this is not an issue is the solution
    of using a port per target. However, this is not a viable solution because
    it is restrictive and will fail under moderate load. For solution 1 we
    don"t have a problem because no object reference is returned by
    set_target(), therefore it cannot be passed to other ORBs. For solution 2
    we have a problem because the second ORB won"t know whether it is supposed
    to first invoke start_passthru() or simply start making requests. Therefore
    it may get a connection type that it wasn"t expecting. For solution 3 we
    have a problem because once the original connection has been made, the
    reference is invalid. This occurs because the firewall does not have
    knowledge of how many clients are expected to try to connect to that target,
    and it may attempt to claim that port for reuse before another client has
    connected.

    Proposed Solution:
    The passing of object references obtained by invoking
    new_target() should be expressly prohibited by the specification. One
    example is, "The object reference returned by new_target() may not be passed
    to another client. Instead the original reference that was passed as the
    argument to new_target() must be passed to the second client, and the second
    client will follow the rules of the traversal algorithm to reach the desired
    target."

new_target

  • Legacy Issue Number: 2648
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Section 4.7.4 - description of new_target operation.

    The first para states:

    "The new_target operation informs the firewall that it should prepare itself
    to
    receive requests destined for the specified target. The object returned
    from this
    operation is the destination on the firewall to which a request on the
    target should be
    sent i.e. the object_key in the return object should be used in the GIOP
    request header."

    and the last para says:

    "The object returned by the new_target operation must contain an object key
    which
    allows the proxy to uniquely identify the target. A client is not required
    to open a new
    connection to the proxy server, even when the target object(s) are located
    in different
    servers."

    The last sentence implies that the IOR returned from the new_target has the
    same host/port number as the GIOPProxy. This may not be true. For example if
    a firewall is load balancing across ports and network interfaces, the
    host/ports may be differnt, and in this situation a new connection is
    required.

    Summary: In orbos/98-07-03 4.9 it says "However, it is desirable to provide a

    object could be accessible through a firewall. The following POA
    policy is defined for this purpose:" but this policy can at most
    control what components are included in references created by the
    POA. Since the references do not have any mechanism to defend against
    forgery, exclusion of a FirewallMechanism component does not prevent
    access through a firewall. If an attacker obtains some other reference
    with the FirewallMechanism component(s), it can convert a reference
    created under NO_EXPORT into the reference that would have been
    created under EXPORT.

    The description of the policy needs to be changed to make it clear
    that the policy does not imply any access control enforcement. The
    ability of an attacker to forge references, either by combining parts
    of other references, or otherwise, should be explicitly stated as a

passthrough connection

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary:
    I would like to get some clarification on the PASSTHROUGH/Untrusted Proxy
    issue.

    In page 4-45, the spec says "It is possible to support pass-through through
    multiple proxies. For example if in the above example there was another
    proxy B2 between B and C, during processing the new_target operation from A,
    B can try to establish a pass-through connection to C via a call to
    new_target on B2. If this fails, due to NO_PERMISSION for example, B should
    fall back to try to connect through B2 using the NORMAL mode.".

    If the connection (B - B2) is NORMAL, the whole connection is not a
    PASSTHROUGH since the client will see the B2"s identity in the SSL session.
    Should B throw back the NO_PERMISSION to the client if B get NO_PERMISSION
    from B2 for PASSTHROUGH connection? If the answer is no (seems to me that is
    what spec says), does this mean that it is possible that the client request
    a PASSTHROUGH connection but actually get a NORMAL connection?

P 5-44: use of base type

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1697
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: On page 5-44, a new production has been added to the grammar to allow the use of ValueBase to be used as a base type. (<base_type_spec> ::= ... | <value_type_spec). My concern is that all other types of base type specifiers have a PrimitiveKind. However, either you guys forgot or didn"t want to have, that a value or ValueBase does not have a corresponding PrimitiveKind enum value. This becomes essential later on when we want to go into the InterfaceRepository, and find that some type is a ValueBase, we will need to know this. The easiest way to do this could be through a PrimitiveDef, where it"s def_kind attribute is a dk_Primitive, and to satisfy the IDLType interface for they type attribute, we could return a TCKind of tk_value or tk_ValueBase. An alternate could be to not go the PrimitiveDef route and use a different approach. Perhaps we could have a method in the Container or Repository interfaces called create_ValueBase. This would be much like creating an unnamed type such as a sequence, a string, primitive, or array (i.e. get_primitive(), create_string(), etc. in the Repository interface). This is less likely though because create_ValueBase would need to return a type. We could return a ValueDef, but create_ValueBase wouldn"t have enough information passed to it to create on and besides, a ValueDef is named. We could have a whole new definition interface called ValueBaseDef, but this way is a pain if you ask me.

OBV TypeCode parameters wrong

    repository ID. Why? For everything except tk_interface, the repository ID
    is not visible as a parameter. I believe these parameter lists should not
    include repository IDs to make them consistent with the others.

    I assume that the

    {member_name, TypeCode}

    pairs in the tk_value parameter
    list should appear in the order of declaration of the members in the
    valuetype. This is not stated anywhere.

    The visibility of each member should be added to the tk_value parameter
    list. Each entry in the list should contain

    {member_name, TypeCode, short}

    where the short refers to the Visibility of the member.

    The parameter list for tk_value should probably have an additional
    parameter which is the TypeCode of the concrete valuetype base, if any.

Memory Management for Value Factories Unspecified

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1748
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: There are no rules governing how to free value factories in C++.
    Specifically, the ORB does not know what to do with the value factory at
    shutdown, and applications do not know what to do with the factory
    returned by register_value_factory. Directly deleting the factories may
    be hazardous (e.g. if they are shared across multiple valuetypes or even
    multiple ORBs), and leaving them around may introduce memory leaks.

TypeCode complexity for value types

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1726
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: The OBV design for the "CORBA::tk_value" TypeCode defines a
    potentially recursive constructed type that involves ValueMembers.
    The "tk_value" TypeCode defines the entire complexity of the types
    within the Value.

    It is our understanding that when the ORB code that handles "Anys" for
    C++ detects a tk_value TypeCode and needs to encode/decode the associated
    Value object – (e.g., for Any::replace(TypeCode, void *) – it will
    need to invoke a method on that object that understands the object
    instance data and the associated state information. Further
    examination of the TypeCode complexity will not be necessary by the
    Any implementation, since this code would not have knowledge of or
    ability to set the state information within the Value object itself.

    The reason why the layout of the state information within a value
    cannot be known by external code is that virtual inheritance of
    abstract values and/or abstract interfaces makes it impossible to
    calculate the offsets of the data members in a compiler
    independent manner.

OBV spec inefficient for dending large number of small objects

    The current OBV spec (orbos/98-01-01) even suggests sending a graph of
    objects and optimizing for the case where the same object occurs
    multiple times in the graph (which I assume will normally be a small

OBV "chunking"

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1522
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: The OBV spec adds the notion of "chunking" because it claims that "it is
    anticipated that value types may be rather large, particularly when a graph
    is being transmitted. Hence the encoding supports the breaking up of the
    serialization into an arbitrary number of "chunks" in order to facilitate
    incremental processing." (orbos/98-01-18, page 5-55)

    This "feature" should be removed from the spec, since it is the job of the
    underlying transport to handle this issue. GIOP already provides
    fragmentation, allowing transports to handle large parameters efficiently
    – why should we build yet another fragmentation solution on top of it?

    type. In C++, the generated classes for abstract interfaces
    have an _narrow method with the right signature (taking an
    AbstractBase_ptr), but generated classes for values and regular
    interfaces don"t have such a method. It seems like we would
    need to add overloaded narrow methods in all these places to

Sections 5.3.1.2 vs. 6.3.1: Mapping of non-public state to java private

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1380
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Section 5.3.1.2 says that non-public data members should be mapped

    implementation code and the marshaling routines."

    Section 6.3.1 says that non-public data members are mapped to
    private instance variables.

    The problem is that the Java marshaling routines are in the Helper
    class, which cannot see private instance variables in the value class.

    The proposed solution is to modify the Java mapping to map the default
    IDL state to the default (package visibility) Java state instead of
    private.

    is a word that is treated as a keyword only when used in a keyword
    context, and is otherwise treated as a regular identifier.
    3) It allows IDL specifications that, while not unparseable, are
    highly ambiguous, especially to a human reader. For example, Jeff
    recently posted answers on how the following is to be parsed, but
    there is no way that someone reading the OBV spec would be able to
    figure out the rules he gave:

    interface public

    { ... };
    interface custom { ... }

    ;
    value safe

    { ... };

    value foo : safe { ... }

    ; // Is this legal or an error?
    value foo2 : safe safe

    { ... }

    ; // What about this?
    value foo3

    { public x; // Is this legal or an error? public public y; // What about this? custom value(); // Is this a valid operation or a syntax error? }

    ;

    While all of these constructs can all be parsed using the appropriate
    number of look-ahead tokens (by the way, the grammar is not LALR(1)
    as the OBV Spec suggests), it is hard to read and even harder to
    parse correctly. Many IDL compilers still fail to properly implement
    the name lookup rules in the existing CORBA specification, and adding
    keyword identifiers will only make that situation much worse.

p.6.68 boxed values of complex types map to same type

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1256
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: p.6.68: It is a bit awkward that boxed values of "complex" types map
    all to the same type (i.e., as for typedefs, the value"s name appears
    only in holder/helper classes), and that each boxed value of "basic" type
    maps to its individual class. Instead, boxed values of basic types
    could map to the corresponding java.lang.* class, e.g.
    java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Short, etc. An issue with this approach
    is that java.lang.Short and java.lang.Byte are not defined in JDK
    1.0.2. I doubt however this JDK is still much in use; for its users,
    short and octet could optionally map to e.g. CORBA.ShortValue and
    CORBA.ByteValue (inspired from CORBA::StringValue).

"Safe" keyword identifier issue

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1251
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Above rules seem to imply that the
    "safe" keyword identifier can only occur before the first scoped name in the
    <value_parent_spec>, whereas I think the actual intent is that it can only
    occur before a non-abstract value type, of which there is at most one in the
    list, although it need not be the first. Since this can"t be expressed in the
    rules exactly, I would simply amend the rule to be:

    <value_parent_spec> ::= ":" [ <safe_token> ] <scoped_name>

    { "," [ <safe_token> ] <scoped_name> }

    *

    and simply express the semantic restriction in the text. There already is a
    brief mention of the semantics of the "safe" keyword in section 5.3.2.5
    "Substitutability Issues". Perhaps another sentence or two would help clarify
    the intended usage.

I would except ignore the exception and continue but the spec doesn't describe the behaviour.

    The minor code for add_reply_service_context is not correct. The spec says: Indicates the behavior of this operation when a service context already exists with the given ID. If false, then BAD_INV_ORDER with a standard minor code of 11 is raised. If true, then the existing service context is replaced by the new one. The minor code should be 15.

    This corba spec describes POAManagerFactory. I have been searching on the web and it seems for example Orbacus has the possibility to do a resolve_initial_references ("POAManager"). This seems not possible with the latest corba spec. This seems an usefull extension. The only option there is now is to get the RootPOA, get from there the POAManagerFactory and use that again.

Also, there is no CORBA::ExceptionList defined in the spec at all, there is Dynamic::ExceptionList but no CORBA::ExceptionList. valuetype ExceptionHolder { void raise_exception() raises (UserExceptionBase); void raise_exception_with_list( in CORBA::ExceptionList exc_list) in Dynamic::ExceptionList exc_list) raises (UserExceptionBase); private boolean is_system_exception; private boolean byte_order;

  • Summary:

    The CORBA spec describes the following about the wait_for_completion parameter of the POA::destroy call: The wait_for_completion parameter is handled as follows: • If wait_for_completion is TRUE and the current thread is not in an invocation context dispatched from some POA belonging to the same ORB as this POA, the destroy operation returns only after all active requests have completed and all invocations of etherealize have completed. • If wait_for_completion is TRUE and the current thread is in an invocation context dispatched from some POA belonging to the same ORB as this POA, the BAD_INV_ORDER system exception with standard minor code 3 is raised and POA destruction does not occur. We have a use case where we have an ORB with two POA's, A1 and B1, each POA again has a child A2 and B2. In case we get a request for a servant of A2 to destroy POA B2 and we specify TRUE for wait_for_completion then we get an exception back, but this doesn't seem locally. We understand that when we want to destroy A1 when handling a request using a servant of A2 that we get an exception at that moment. We propose the change the description as following: The wait_for_completion parameter is handled as follows: • If wait_for_completion is TRUE and the current thread is not in an invocation context dispatched from some POA that is a child of this POA or from this POA itself, the destroy operation returns only after all active requests have completed and all invocations of etherealize have completed. • If wait_for_completion is TRUE and the current thread is in an invocation context dispatched from some POA that is a child of this POA or from the POA itself, the BAD_INV_ORDER system exception with standard minor code 3 is raised and POA destruction does not occur.

  • Summary:

    The draft document says the following in 21.9.1. The description about the type of exceptions sounds very vague. Shouldn't the spec be more detailed, which type of exceptions should be ignored specifically? Any exceptional return from the invocation of any operation of the ORBInitializer interface other than those resulting from the failure to instantiate a portable interceptor object shall result in the abandonment of the ORB initialization and destruction of the ORB. Any ORBInitializer implementation that needs the ORB to ignore any thrown exceptions can simply catch and discard them itself.

  • Summary:

    In the draft 3.1 spec chapter 21.7 says the following: An Interceptor's behaviour may itself be modified by one or more Interceptor Policies. These Policy objects are created using a call to ORB::create_policy and are associated with an Interceptor during registration (see Section 21.7.2, ORBInitInfo Interface). All Policy interfaces defined in this section are local. The ORB can be accesed via the implicit get_orb operation of ORBInitInfo. The ORBInitInfo is passed on the pre_init and post_init call of the ORBInitializer but what should be the orb in the pre_init call? The orb is not initialized at that moment? Shouldn't it say that calling get_orb on the ORBInitInfo in t
