Issue 6672: EnterpriseComponent should have a get_servant method (components-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Enhancement
Severity: Minor
Summary: The EnterpriseComponent should have a get_servant method. When creating component or facet reference of service or session component, the first step is creating the object reference and associating its PortableServer::ObjectId with servant. Currently, the container manages executor, but the EnterpriseComponent interface does not provide a mechanism to get servant. The method would be very useful as it means the container can use executor to get servant, which is not possible now. 

Resolution: 

Replace the following text in formal/02-06-05 on page 3-39 

module Components { local interface EnterpriseComponent {}; }; 

with 

module Components { local interface EnterpriseComponent { Servant get_servant() raises (CCMException); }; }; 

and add the operation description 

get_servant 

The get_servant operation returns a reference to the servant.
