Issue 6424: Section 22.2.4.6 interface RelativeRoundtripTimeoutPolicy (corba-rtf) Source: Borland Software Corporation (Mr. Wolfgang Haefelinger, nobody) Nature: Clarification Severity: Summary: [..] It is used to indicate the relative amount of time for which a Request or its corresponding Reply may be delivered. After this amount of time, the Request is cancelled (if a response has not yet been received from the target) or the Reply is discarded (if the Request had already been delivered and a Reply returned from the target) [..] --------------------------------------------------------- Question: * What is the precise meaning of "Request is cancelled"? Does it mean that client ORB just gives up or does it mean that client tries, in kind of best effort semantics, to cancel request on server? If this cancellation fails, how will client user be informed about this? By a minor code in thrown Timeout exception? Is it possible to clarify this?
