Issue 3787: GIOP _get_domain_managers ambiguous (interop)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: In GIOP, the _get_domain_managers operation name is used to indicate
an invocation of the get_domain_managers pseudo operation. OTOH, it is
also used if an attribute domain_managers is accessed, as it would
appear in

interface I{
  readonly attribute long domain_managers;
};
Resolution: Changing the object reference operation on the wire to _domain_managers fixes the problem stated.
Revised Text: In the specification of the operation field, in 15.4.2.1, change the paragraph: 
" 
In the case of CORBA::Object operations that are defined in the CORBA Core 
(Section 4.3, “Object Reference Operations,” on page 4-11) and that correspond to 
GIOP request messages, the operation names are _interface, _is_a, 
_non_existent, and _get_domain_managers.

    Note:  The name "_get_domain_managers" is not used, to avoid conflict with a get operation invoked on a user defined attribute
with name "domain_managers".
