IE.Iona.Orbix2 implement the IDL CORBA module defined by OMG. This module contains a number of IDL interfaces and pseudo interfaces; OrbixWeb adds members to these classes and also provides additional Java classes to implement OrbixWeb features such as locators and filters. The contents of the
IE.Iona.Orbix2 package are:
_CORBA class.
CORBA package.
_CORBA class implements constants and operations defined directly in the IDL CORBA namespace. It also implements several OrbixWeb specific constants and member variables. The CORBA package implements the interfaces defined in the IDL CORBA module. It also implements several classes specific to the OrbixWeb IDL to Java mapping.In this part of the OrbixWeb Reference Guide, each class in the
IE.Iona.Orbix2 package is introduced in a separate section. Each section begins with a brief description of the class and then describes the publicly available interface to that class.In the remaining chapters of this part, references to subtypes of package
IE.Iona.Orbix2 are generally prefixed with _CORBA or CORBA to indicate whether they are defined in the _CORBA class or the CORBA package. In addition, although there is currently no CORBA standard mapping from IDL to Java, some data types and methods are described as "CORBA defined". These data types and methods derive from definitions in the OMG CORBA 2.0 specification.
