Issue 1239:  IDL/file structure mapping (boca-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Revision
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: BOCA
 The relationship between generated IDL and file structure is not defined
 by the BOCA specification.   There could be several workable
 implementation-specific approaches to file structure, but without
 consistent file structure patterns the resultant idl would not be
 interoperable between different idl generator mechanisms.    MOF IDL
 generation faces a similar situation, as documented in Mof-rtf issue
 957.  Also, work by Dan Frantz on the IDL Style Guide addresses some of
 the same issues. 
 
 Recommendation:
 Work with Dan Frantz and mof-rtf to establish a consistent IDL/file
 structure mapping across BOCA, MOF, and the IDL Style Guide.

BOCA
The relationship between generated IDL and file structure is not
defined
by the BOCA specification.   There could be several workable
implementation-specific approaches to file structure, but without
consistent file structure patterns the resultant idl would not be
interoperable between different idl generator mechanisms.    MOF IDL
generation faces a similar situation, as documented in Mof-rtf issue
957.  Also, work by Dan Frantz on the IDL Style Guide addresses some
of
the same issues. 

Recommendation:
Work with Dan Frantz and mof-rtf to establish a consistent IDL/file
structure mapping across BOCA, MOF, and the IDL Style Guide.
