Issue 2662:  CosNotifyChannelAdmin module: typed proxies not defined in  ProxyType enum (notif_service-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: The CosNotifyChannelAdmin::ProxyConsumer and the
 CosNotifyChannelAdmin::ProxySupplier interfaces define
 the MyType attribute as a ProxyType.
  
 This ProxyType enum is defined as:
 
 enum ProxyType {
 	PUSH_ANY,
 	PULL_ANY,
 	PUSH_STRUCTURED,
 	PULL_STRUCTURED,
 	PUSH_SEQUENCE,
 	PULL_SEQUENCE
 };
 
 The CosTypedNotifyChannelAdmin::TypedProxyPushConsumer and
 the CosTypedNotifyChannelAdmin::TypedProxyPullConsumer
 interfaces inherit the CosNotifyChannelAdmin::ProxyConsumer
 interface.
 Likewise, the CosTypedNotifyChannelAdmin::TypedProxyPushSupplier
 and the CosTypedNotifyChannelAdmin::TypedProxyPullSupplier
 interfaces inherit the CosNotifyChannelAdmin::ProxySupplier
 interface.
 
 The objects inheriting those typed interfaces have no meaningfull
 way to initialize the MyType attribute, therefore I think the 
 PUSH_TYPED and PULL_TYPED values are missing to this enum.
 
 Thua, the resulting ProxyType enum should be defined as:
 
 enum ProxyType {
 	PUSH_ANY,
 	PULL_ANY,
 	PUSH_STRUCTURED,
 	PULL_STRUCTURED,
 	PUSH_SEQUENCE,
 	PULL_SEQUENCE,
 	PUSH_TYPED,
 	PULL_TYPED
 };
 

Resolution: resolved, see below
Revised Text: Modified IDL definition of ProxyType in Table 3-4 and B-4. Made appropriate changes to sections 3.4.1.1 and 3.4.2.1.

Synopsis: The ProxyConsumer and ProxySupplier interfaces defined in the

          CosNotifyChannelAdmin module define the MyType attribute, which

          is of type ProxyType. ProxyType is an enumerated type that is

          intended to indicate the specify type of Proxy that an instance

          supporting either the ProxyConsumer or ProxySupplier interfaces

          represents. It's possible values can indicate any of the Proxy

          types defined in the CosNotifyChannelAdmin module. However, the

          Proxy interfaces defined in the CosTypedNotifyChannelAdmin 

          module also inherit either the ProxyConsumer or ProxySupplier

          interfaces, yet the ProxyType data type does not include an

          enumaration that can be used to represent one of the types of

          proxies. To resolve this problem, the following should be added

          as possible values to the ProxyType enum: PUSH_TYPED, PULL_TYPED.



Disposition: I agree with this proposed change.



VOTE: YES means to make the change recommended by the issue author.

      NO means to do nothing.

Hello,

I have just noticed something that should be raised as an issue
concerning the CosNotifyChannelAdmin module.

The CosNotifyChannelAdmin::ProxyConsumer and the
CosNotifyChannelAdmin::ProxySupplier interfaces define
the MyType attribute as a ProxyType.
 
This ProxyType enum is defined as:

enum ProxyType {
	PUSH_ANY,
	PULL_ANY,
	PUSH_STRUCTURED,
	PULL_STRUCTURED,
	PUSH_SEQUENCE,
	PULL_SEQUENCE
};

The CosTypedNotifyChannelAdmin::TypedProxyPushConsumer and
the CosTypedNotifyChannelAdmin::TypedProxyPullConsumer
interfaces inherit the CosNotifyChannelAdmin::ProxyConsumer
interface.
Likewise, the CosTypedNotifyChannelAdmin::TypedProxyPushSupplier
and the CosTypedNotifyChannelAdmin::TypedProxyPullSupplier
interfaces inherit the CosNotifyChannelAdmin::ProxySupplier
interface.

The objects inheriting those typed interfaces have no meaningfull
way to initialize the MyType attribute, therefore I think the 
PUSH_TYPED and PULL_TYPED values are missing to this enum.

Thua, the resulting ProxyType enum should be defined as:

enum ProxyType {
	PUSH_ANY,
	PULL_ANY,
	PUSH_STRUCTURED,
	PULL_STRUCTURED,
	PUSH_SEQUENCE,
	PULL_SEQUENCE,
	PUSH_TYPED,
	PULL_TYPED
};

Best regards,
Patrick.
