Issue 760: CORBAservices (editorial page 17-21) (issues)

Summary: After ElementInvalid and KeyInvalid, you discuss ParameterInvalid. There is a space written in it: Paramete_rInvalid

Summary: There are three comments in the interface description that do not have the same style (font) as the other comments

Summary: In the description of the first parameter "collection_interface" of type Istring, ther starting quote of the word collection_interfaceis missing.

Summary: In CosStream Module the CompoundExternaliztion.idl is included
 > (needed for CosCompoundExternalization::Node), and in the
 > CosCompoundExternalization Module the Stream.idl is included (needed
 > for CosStream::Streamable and CosStream::StreamIO). Now correct me
 > if I am wrong but isn"t this self-referential loop going to cause
 > problems with the IDL compiler, in that either CosStream will not
 > know about CosCompoundExternalization or vice-versa causing a
 > compiler error.

Summary: Suggested rewording for the paragraph in Section 5.9.1, pg 35 of the
 Notation Guide, version 1.1.  Complete suggested text is availabl ein the issues"s archive

 closed issue

Summary: n Appendix B, p14-21 the return type of the interfaces
 	CosTime::TIO::spans
 and
 	CosTime::TIO::overlaps
 is declared as boolean. This is in contradiction to p 14-10,11 of the
 same document that states a return type of OverlapType.
 
 The correct return type is OverlapType.
 

Summary: For the interface
 	UTO CosTime::TimeService::new_universal_time(
 		in TimeBase::TimeT time,
 		in TimeBase::InaccuracyT inaccuracy,
 		in TimeBase::TdfT tdf
 	);
 the description of the IN parameter tdf is missing.
 
 

Summary: INS specifies that the default object key for the `root" context of a
 CosNaming service is "NamingService".  However, the keyword passed to
 CORB::ORB::resolve_initial_references() to locate the CosNaming service
 is "NameService".  This is bound to create confusion, if only among
 implementors.  Suggest changing the object key of the root naming
 context to "NameService".
 

Summary: The Query Service IDL code (document 97-12-18) has multiple syntax
 errors. I have checked it with Orbix, OrbixWeb and Visibroker IDl
 compiler.

CosNotification.idl contains a struct named 'EventType', which
clashes with the new CCM-related keyword 'eventtype'.

Just came accoss an issue with the publichsed CosTime IDL.
The specification for the TIO interface contains a return 
value of OverlapType for a couple of its operations. However,
the published IDL for CosTime returns a boolean.

   interface TIO
   {
     OverlapType spans( in UTO time, out TIO overlap);
     OverlapType overlaps( in TIO interval, out TIO overlap);
     UTO time ();
   };

IDL defintion:

   interface TIO 
   {
     boolean spans( in UTO time, out TIO overlap);
     boolean overlaps( in TIO interval, out TIO overlap);
     UTO time ();
   };

The AggregateID numbering is different from the OPC HDA AGGREGATE numbering. This complicates bridges. Change the AggregateID numbering to be the same as the OPC HDA AGGREGATE numbering.

DeploymentSpecification - notation for DeploymentSpecification on the instance level 

There are several examples of DeploymentSpecification on the instance level which use the notation name: value (i.e. execution: thread) instead of the default notation for slots (see InstanceSpecification on p. 59) name = value (i.e. execution = thread) 

See - Figure 132 on page 191 - Table 8, 2nd row, 2nd column on page 199 

For performance/dependability analysis the models are usually stochastics. How to specify distributions ? The "statisticalQualifier" attribute associated to a <<QoS dimension>> attribute allows to declare that the type of value of the attribute is a distribution but not the "type of distribution". On the other hand, a syntax is not given for the specification of the type of distribution as well as, in general, for complex timing values. To illustrate a possible solution let us consider a system UML model in which we want to specify the service time for two resources COM and MEM as random variables distributed according to the uniform PdF and to the negative exponential PdF, respectively. The annotation has to be as simple as possible but at the same time detailed enough to be useful for the construction of a stochastic model. 

Change all references to UML 2.1 in the Infrastructure and Superstructure documents to UML 2.1.1

The reference to CADMID should be removed as this contradicts the
statement of process neutrality in the Rationale (section 1.7.1)
