Issue 6001: CCMHome should have a get_container method (components-rtf)
Source: Computational Physics, Inc. (Mr. J. Scott Evans, evans(at)cpi.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: The CCMHome interface does not provide a mechanism for locating the container that created a home.  The lack of a method to get a home's container is inconsistent with the rest of the CCM model.  Furthermore, this method would be very useful as it would provide a means to navigate from a component to its ServerActivator, which is currently not possible.

Resolution:

Replace the following text in formal/02-06-05 on page 1-41

interface CCMHome {
    CORBA::IRObject get_component_def();
    CORBA::IRObject get_home_def ();
    void remove_component ( in CCMObject comp)
        raises (RemoveFailure);
};

with

interface CCMHome {
    CORBA::IRObject get_component_def();
    CORBA::IRObject get_home_def ();
    void remove_component ( in CCMObject comp)
        raises (RemoveFailure);
    Container get_container();
};

and add the operation description

get_container

The get_container operation returns a reference to the Container object that created this CCMHome
