Issue 6688: EnterpriseComponent should have a get_servant method (components-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: 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.

This was originally sent to me, possibly because Mr. Bo is not an OMG member.
Do not include me in any correspondence on this issue.

I have two questions about CCM, could you kindly give me an advice about
them, and help me understand them? The questions as following:


1. EnterpriseComponent should have a get_servant method

Deng,


there is no such thing as a "servant" in CCM. Containers act
as object adapters for their components (and may internally
use a POA if they desire).
