NAME

CORBA::omniORB - Perl module implementing CORBA 2.x via omniORB

SYNOPSIS

use CORBA:::omniORB ids => [ 'IDL:Account/Account:1.0' => undef,
                             'IDL:Account/Counter:1.0' => undef ];

DESCRIPTION

The omniORB module is a Perl interface to the omniORB ORB. It is meant, in the spirit of omniORB, to be a clean, simple, system, at the expense of speed, if necessary.

Arguments to 'use omniORB'

Arguments in the form of key value pairs can be given after the 'use CORBA::omniORB' statement.

ids

The value of the argument is a array reference which contains pairs of the form:

REPOID => FALLBACK_IDL_FILE

REPOID is the repository id of an interface to pre-load. FALLBACK_IDL_FILE is the name of an IDL file to load the interface from if it is not found in the interface repository. This capability is not yet implemented.

Language Mapping

See the description in CORBA::omniORB::mapping.

Functions in the CORBA module

ORB_init ID
is_nil OBJ

Methods of CORBA::Any

new ( TYPE, VALUE )

Constructs a new any from TYPE (of class CORBA::TypeCode) and VALUE.

type

Returns the type of the any, as a CORBA::TypeCode.

value

Returns the value of the any.

Methods of CORBA::ORB

object_to_string ( OBJ )
list_initial_services
resolve_initial_references ( ID )
string_to_object ( STRING )
cdr_encode ( VAL, TC )
cdr_decode ( CDR, TC)
preload ( REPOID )

Force the interface specified by REPOID to be loaded from the Interface Repository. Returns a true value if REPOID represents interface (dk_Interface), false otherwise.

run
shutdown ( WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION )
perform_work
work_pending
destroy

Methods of CORBA::Object

_get_interface
_non_existent
_is_a
_is_equivalent
_hash
_repoid
_self

Methods of CORBA::TypeCode

new ( REPOID )

Create a new typecode object for the type with the repository id REPOID. Support for the basic types is provided by the pseudo-repository IDs 'IDL:CORBA/XXX:1.0', where XXX is one of Short, Long, UShort, ULong, UShort, ULong, Float, Double, Boolean, Char, Octet, Any, TypeCode, Principal, Object or String. Note that the capitalization here agrees with the C++ names for the types, not with that found in the typecode constant.

In the future, this scheme will probably be revised, or replaced.
