Issue 2187:  Support for IDL prefixes in MOF spec (mof-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Revision
Severity:  Minor
Summary: Summary:  When the MOF is used to generate meta-models for other
 OMG specifications, it is necessary to include a "#prefix "org.omg""
 in the generated IDL.  The MOF Model and IDL mapping do not currently
 support this.

Actions taken:
November 6, 1998: received issue
July 23, 1999: closed issue
Discussion: 
This is an important problem that needs to be fixed, but is fortunately also easy to fix.
Burlingame - Needs more discussion as to why this is desirable
Proposed resolution
1. Define a standard Tag name that can be used to set the prefix on the outermost
Package of a meta-model.
2. Ammend the IDL mapping to respect the prefix Tag.
To be implemented
Implementation: Text defining the tag has been added to “Tags for specifying IDL
#pragma prefix”. Done. [SC]

Additional text:

One solution is to define a standard tag name that can be used to
set the prefix on the outermost Package of a meta-model.  Then ammend
the IDL mapping to respect this prefix.

We probably don't want to make this an attribute of Model::Package,
because
it is specific to a single technology mapping.
