Issue 6899: CORBA 3.02, page 11-25, section 11.3.6 (corba-rtf)
Source: Progress Software (Mr. Steve Vinoski, steve.vinoski(at)iona.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Fifth bullet near the beginning of this section states:
 
Incarnations of a particular object may not overlap; that is, incarnate shall not be invoked with a particular ObjectId while, within the same POA, that ObjectId is in use as the ObjectId of an activated object or as the argument of a call to incarnate or etherealize that has not completed.
 
Unfortunately, I do not see anywhere where the exception to be thrown from activate_object_with_id() for this case is specified. According to this text, if incarnate() is executing for a particular ObjectId, any calls to activate_object_with_id() should be rejected by the POA. This came up in comp.object.corba, where someone posted a question as to why Orbix 2000 throws the ObjectAlreadyActive exception for this case.
