Issue 4066: term "method" used wrongly (ft-ftf) Source: IONA (Dr. Wolfgang Schulze, wolfgang.schulze@iona.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Throughout the document, the authors use the term "method" several times where they should be talking about "operations" instead. This violates the general understanding of the OMG terminology, where IDL interfaces contain "operations", not "methods". The term "method" is usually reserved as a concept of oo programming languages. I recommend that for the next revision, the authors run a global search&replace and identify where they want to talk about methods and where of operations. Resolution: Revised Text: Run a global search and replace, and replace "method" by "operation" where appropriate.
