Exception Summary Exception Description ForwardRequest org/omg/PortableServer/ForwardRequest.java .
Package org.omg.PortableServer Description
In Java, Portable Object Adaptor (POA)-based Dynamic Skeleton Interface (DSI) servants inherit from the standard DynamicImplementation class, which inherits from the Servant class. The native Servant type is defined by the PortableServer module for the POA. In Java, the Servant type is mapped to the Java org.omg.PortableServer.Servant class. It serves as the base class for all POA servant implementations and provides a number of methods that may be invoked by the application programmer, as well as methods which are invoked by the POA itself and may be overridden by the user to control aspects of servant behavior.
Package Specification
For a precise list of supported sections of official OMG specifications with which the Java[tm] Platform, Standard Edition 6 complies, see Official Specifications for CORBA support in Java[tm] SE 6.
POA-related Interfaces
The PortableServer module defines the following POA-related interfaces:
- POA
- POAManager
- ServantManager
- ServantActivator
- ServantLocator
- AdapterActivator
- ThreadPolicy
- LifespanPolicy
- IdUniquenessPolicy
- IdAssignmentPolicy
- ImplicitActivationPolicy
- ServantRetentionPolicy
- RequestProcessingPolicy
- Current
In addition, the POA defines the Servant native type.
Operations classes
Each of the interfaces listed above has an associated Operations
interface. The Operations
interface is generated by the idlj
compiler and contains the method signatures for methods defined in its associated interface. The Operations
interface can be accessed by both the client and the server, while its associated interface can only be called by the client.
Value Classes
Classes ending in the suffixPolicyValue
provide the values used for the create_POA
call, which sets the policy for the POA. See the sample code below for a demonstration. PolicyValue
files include the following:
IdAssignmentPolicyValue
IdUniquenessPolicyValue
ImplicitActivationPolicyValue
LifespanPolicyValue
RequestProcessingPolicyValue
ServantRetentionPolicyValue
ThreadPolicyValue
Helper Classes
Helper classes, which are generated for all user-defined types in an OMG IDL interface, supply static methods needed to manipulate those types. There is only one method in a helper class that an application programmer uses: the narrow
method. Only Java interfaces mapped from IDL interfaces will have a helper class that includes a narrow
method, so in the PortableServer
package, only the following classes have a narrow
method:
ForwardRequestHelper
ServantActivatorHelper
ServantLocatorHelper
POA Classes
POA classes are used to implement the ServantActivator
or ServantLocator
.
Exceptions
The ForwardRequest
exception indicates to the ORB that it is responsible for delivering the current request and subsequent ForwardRequest
requests to the object denoted in the forward_reference
member of the exception.
Interfaces Implemented by the Application Programmer
Most of what PortableServer
does is transparent to the user. The result is that programmers will use only a few of the interfaces mentioned above. The remaining interfaces will be provided by the ORB implementation. The interfaces of interest to application programmers are the following:
AdapterActivator
Adapter activators are associated with POAs. An adapter activator supplies a POA with the ability to create child POAs on demand, as a side-effect of receiving a request that names the child POA (or one of its children), or when
find_POA
is called with an activate parameter value ofTRUE
. An application server that creates all its needed POAs at the beginning of execution does not need to use or provide an adapter activator; it is necessary only for the case in which POAs need to be created during request processing.ServantLocator
When the POA has the
NON_RETAIN
policy, it uses servant managers that areServantLocator
s.ServantActivator
When the POA has the
RETAIN
policy, it uses servant managers that areServantActivator
s.
Package org.omg.PortableServer.ServantLocatorPackage
This package supplies a CookieHolder class for passing the Cookie type as an out
parameter. The CookieHolder
class follows exactly the same pattern as the other holder classes for basic types.
