Synopsis

Specifies whether ObjectIds in the created POA are generated by the application or by the ORB.

Description

Objects with the IdAssignmentPolicy interface are obtained using the POA::create_id_assignment_policy operation and are passed to the POA::create_POA operation to specify whether ObjectIds in the created POA are generated by the application or by the ORB. The following values can be supplied:

If no IdAssignmentPolicy is specified at POA creation, the default is SYSTEM_ID.

Note: This function is supported only for a joint client/server.

Request Member Functions

The mapping of these member functions to C++ is as follows:

// C++
class Request
{
  public:
    Object_ptr target() const;
    const char *operation() const;
    NamedValue_ptr result();
    NVList_ptr arguments();
    Environment_ptr env();
    ExceptionList_ptr exceptions();
    ContextList_ptr contexts();
    void ctx(Context_ptr);
    Context_ptr ctx() const

    // argument manipulation helper functions
    Any &add_in_arg();
    Any &add_in_arg(const char* name);
    Any &add_inout_arg():
    Any &add_inout_arg(const char* name);
    Any &add_out_arg():
    Any &add_out_arg(const char* name);
    void set_return_type(TypeCode_ptr tc);
    Any &return_value();

    void invoke();
    void send_oneway();
    void send_deferred();
    void get_response();
    Boolean poll_response();
};

Note: The add_*_arg, set_return_type, and return_value member functions are added as shortcuts for using the attribute-based accessors.

The following sections describe these member functions.
