Detailed Description

This class defines the protocol specific attributes required for locating ORBs over a TCP/IP network.

This class defines the IIOP profile as specified in the CORBA specification.

const TAO::ObjectKey object_key,
const TAO_GIOP_Message_Version version,
TAO_ORB_Core orb_core
 

Profile constructor, same as above except the object_key has already been marshaled.

CORBA::UShort  port,
const TAO::ObjectKey object_key,

Profile constructor, this is the most efficient since it doesn't require any address resolution processing.

TAO_IIOP_Profile::TAO_IIOP_Profile TAO_ORB_Core orb_core  ) 
 

Profile constructor, default.

TAO_IIOP_Profile::~TAO_IIOP_Profile void   ) 
 

Destructor is to be called only through <_decr_refcnt>.


Member Function Documentation

void TAO_IIOP_Profile::add_endpoint TAO_IIOP_Endpoint endp  ) 
 

Add endp to this profile's list of endpoints (it is inserted next to the head of the list). This profiles takes ownership of endp.

void TAO_IIOP_Profile::create_profile_body TAO_OutputCDR cdr  )  const [protected, virtual]
 

Creates an encapsulation of the ProfileBody struct in the cdr.

Implements TAO_Profile.

int TAO_IIOP_Profile::decode_endpoints void   )  [protected, virtual]
 

Helper for <decode>. Decodes endpoints from a tagged component. Decode only if RTCORBA is enabled. Furthermore, we may not find TAO_TAG_ENDPOINTS component, e.g., if we are talking to nonRT version of TAO or some other ORB. This is not an error, and we must proceed. Return 0 on success and -1 on failure.

Implements TAO_Profile.

int TAO_IIOP_Profile::decode_profile TAO_InputCDR cdr  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Template methods. Please see Profile.h for the documentation.

Implements TAO_Profile.

CORBA::Boolean TAO_IIOP_Profile::do_is_equivalent const TAO_Profile other_profile  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Profile equivalence template method invoked on subclasses.

TAO_Profile subclasses must implement this template method so that they can apply their own definition of profile equivalence.

Implements TAO_Profile.

int TAO_IIOP_Profile::encode_endpoints void   )  [virtual]
 

Encodes this profile's endpoints into a tagged component. This is done only if RTCORBA is enabled, since currently this is the only case when we have more than one endpoint per profile.

Implements TAO_Profile.

TAO_Endpoint * TAO_IIOP_Profile::endpoint void   )  [virtual]
 

Return pointer to this profile's endpoint. If the profile contains more than one endpoint, i.e., a list, the method returns the head of the list.

Implements TAO_Profile.

CORBA::ULong TAO_IIOP_Profile::endpoint_count void   )  const [virtual]
 

Return how many endpoints this profile contains.

Implements TAO_Profile.

CORBA::ULong TAO_IIOP_Profile::hash CORBA::ULong max  ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL  )  [virtual]
 

Return a hash value for this object.

Implements TAO_Profile.

char TAO_IIOP_Profile::object_key_delimiter void   )  const [virtual]
 

The object key delimiter.

Implements TAO_Profile.

virtual void TAO_IIOP_Profile::parse_string_i const char *string  ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Protocol specific implementation of parse_string ().

Implements TAO_Profile.

const char * TAO_IIOP_Profile::prefix void   )  [static]
 

Return the char string prefix.

char * TAO_IIOP_Profile::to_string ACE_ENV_SINGLE_ARG_DECL   )  [virtual]
 

Template methods. Please see Profile.h for documentation.

Implements TAO_Profile.


Member Data Documentation

CORBA::ULong TAO_IIOP_Profile::count_ [protected]
 

Number of endpoints in the list headed by <endpoint_>.

TAO_IIOP_Endpoint TAO_IIOP_Profile::endpoint_ [protected]
 

Head of this profile's list of endpoints. This endpoint is not dynamically allocated because a profile always contains at least one endpoint.

Currently, a profile contains more than one endpoint, i.e., list contains more than just the head, only for two cases (1) when RTCORBA is enabled and (2) the ORB is initialized with -ORBPreferredInterfaces option. However, in the near future, this will be used in for mode as well, e.g., to support TAG_ALTERNATE_IIOP_ADDRESS feature.

This is probably as good a place to discuss how the list of endpoints is used for #2. If the ORB is configured to use preferred interfaces for invocation, TAO creates an endpoint per preferred interface. To be clear, every tuple <destination:target> will have an endpoint. What TAO essentially does is that creates it multiple endpoints so that the invocation code path can use existing iterating techniques to try one preferred interface after another (if the first did not work). If the ORB is configured with -ORBEnforcePreferredInterface set to false in addition to the ORBPreferredInterfaces option , TAO creates another endpoint with the preferred bit set to null, so that the invocation code can fall back to a TCP stack returned local address. Addressing info of the default endpoint, i.e., head of the list, is transmitted using standard IIOP ProfileBody components. See <encode_endpoints> method documentation above for how the rest of the endpoint list is transmitted.

const char TAO_IIOP_Profile::object_key_delimiter_ = '/' [static]
 

The object key delimiter that IIOP uses or expects.
