Description

The find_factories_by_id method is called by an application to obtain a sequence of one or more factory object references. The method is passed a NULL-terminated string that contains the identifier of the factory to be located. If more than one factory object is registered with the specified ID, the FactoryFinder will return a list of object references for the matching registered factory objects.

The find_factories_by_id method behaves the same as the find_factory operation that was passed a key that contains a single NameComponent with an id field that contains the same value as the factory_id parameter and a kind field that contains the value "FactoryInterface".

The registered identifier for a factory is considered equal to the value of the factory_id parameter if the result of constructing a CosLifeCycle::Key structure containing a single NameComponent that has the factory_id parameter as the value of the id field and the value "FactoryInterface" as the value of the kind field. The values must match exactly in all respects (case, location, etc.).

Return Values

An unbounded sequence of references to factory objects that match the information specified as the value of the factory_key parameter. In C++, the method returns a sequence of object references of type CosLifeCycle::Factory. In Java, the method returns an unbounded array of object references of type org.omg.CORBA.Object.

If the operation raises an exception, the return value is invalid and does not need to be released by the caller.
