Detailed Description

TAO_Stub.

Per-objref data includes the (protocol-specific) Profile, which is handled by placing it into a subclass of this type along with data that may be used in protocol-specific caching schemes. The type ID (the data specified by CORBA 2.0 that gets exposed "on the wire", and in stringified objrefs) is held by this module. The stub APIs are member functions of this type.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TAO_Stub::TAO_Stub ( const char *  repository_id,
const TAO_MProfile profiles,
TAO_ORB_Core orb_core 
)

void TAO_Stub::add_forward_profiles ( const TAO_MProfile mprofiles,
const CORBA::Boolean  permanent_forward = false 
)

THREAD SAFE. Set the forward_profiles. This object will assume ownership of this TAO_MProfile object!! if permanent_forward is true, currently used profiles will be replaced permanently, otherwise stub may fallback to current profiles later. The flag permanent_forward=true is only valid if currently used profile set represents a GroupObject (IOGR), otherwise this flag will be ignored.

const TAO_MProfile & TAO_Stub::base_profiles ( void  ) const

Obtain a reference to the basic profile set.

TAO_MProfile & TAO_Stub::base_profiles ( void  )

Obtain a reference to the basic profile set.

Mutator for setting the servant in collocated cases.

TAO_Abstract_ServantBase * TAO_Stub::collocated_servant ( void  ) const

Accessor for the servant reference in collocated cases.

int TAO_Stub::create_ior_info ( IOP::IOR *&  ior_info,

)

Create the IOP::IOR info. We will create the info at most once. Get the index of the profile we are using to make the invocation.

void TAO_Stub::destroy ( void  )

Deallocate the TAO_Stub object.

This method is intended to be used only by the CORBA::Object class.

) [private]

THREAD-SAFE Create the IOR info.

CORBA::ULong TAO_Stub::hash ( CORBA::ULong  maximum)

All objref representations know how to hash themselves and compare themselves for equivalence to others. It's easily possible to have two objrefs that are distinct copies of data that refers/points to the same remote object (i.e. are equivalent).

Is this stub collocated with the servant?

void TAO_Stub::is_collocated ( CORBA::Boolean  collocated)

Mutator to mark this stub as being collocated with the servant.

Implement the is_equivalent() method for the CORBA::Object.

TAO_MProfile * TAO_Stub::make_profiles ( void  )

Copy of the profile list, user must free memory when done. although the user can call make_profiles() then reorder the list and give it back to TAO_Stub.

CORBA::Boolean TAO_Stub::marshal ( TAO_OutputCDR cdr)

Needed to avoid copying forward_profiles for thread safety.

TAO_Profile * TAO_Stub::next_forward_profile ( void  ) [private]

NON-THREAD-SAFE. utility method for next_profile.

TAO_Profile * TAO_Stub::next_profile ( void  )

True if permanent location forward occured, in this case the lock must be set and the.

THREAD SAFE. If forward_profiles is null then this will get the next profile in the base_profiles list. If forward is not null then this will get the next profile for the list of forwarding profiles. If all profiles have been tried then 0 is returned and profile_in_use_ is set to the first profile in the base_profiles list.

NON-THREAD SAFE version of next_profile (void)

CORBA::Boolean TAO_Stub::next_profile_retry ( void  )

Return the ObjectKey.

void TAO_Stub::object_proxy_broker ( TAO::Object_Proxy_Broker *  proxy_broker)

Mutator for setting the object proxy broker pointer. CORBA::Objects using this stub will use this for standard calls like is_a; get_interface; etc...

TAO::Object_Proxy_Broker * TAO_Stub::object_proxy_broker ( void  ) const

void TAO_Stub::servant_orb ( CORBA::ORB_ptr  orb)

Accesor and mutator for the servant ORB. Notice that the mutator assumes the ownership of the passed in ORB and the accesor does not return a copy of the orb since the accessing of the ORB is considered temporary.

Returns true if a connection was successful with at least one profile.


Member Data Documentation

Ordered list of profiles for this object.

Servant pointer. It is 0 except for collocated objects.

TRUE if we want to take advantage of collocation optimization in this ORB. This should be the same value as cached in the ORB_Core. The reason for caching this helps our generated code, notably the stubs to be decoupled from ORB_Core. Please do not move it away.

The list of forwarding profiles. This is actually implemented as a linked list of TAO_MProfile objects.

The bookmark indicating permanent forward occurred, the pointer is used to identify bottom of stack forward_profiles_

Forwarded IOR info.

ACE_Atomic_Op<TAO_SYNCH_MUTEX, bool> TAO_Stub::forwarded_on_exception_ [protected]

True if forwarding request upon some specific exceptions (e.g. OBJECT_NOT_EXIST) already happened.

The ior info. This is needed for GIOP 1.2, as the clients could receive an exception from the server asking for this info. The exception that the client receives is LOC_NEEDS_ADDRESSING_MODE. The data is set up here to be passed on to Invocation classes when they receive an exception. This info is for the base profiles that this class stores

Flag that indicates that this stub is collocated (and that it belongs to an ORB for which collocation optimisation is active).

TAO::Object_Proxy_Broker* TAO_Stub::object_proxy_broker_ [protected]

Pointer to the Proxy Broker.

This cached pointer instance takes care of routing the call for standard calls in CORBA::Object like _is_a (), _get_component () etc.

ORB required for reference counting. This will help us keep the ORB around until the CORBA::Object we represent dies.

Todo:
Why do we need both a reference to the ORB_Core and its ORB? It think the memory management rules for the ORB_Core changed, in the good old days it was the CORBA::ORB class who owned the ORB_Core, now it is the other way around....

Automatically manage the ORB_Core reference count.

The ORB_Core cannot go away until the object references it creates are destroyed. There are multiple reasons for this, but in particular, the allocators used for some of the TAO_Profile objects contained on each TAO_Stub are owned by the TAO_ORB_Core.

This must be the first field of the class, otherwise the TAO_ORB_Core is destroyed too early!

The policy overrides in this object, if nil then use the default policies.

This is the profile that we are currently sending/receiving with.

TAO_SYNCH_MUTEX TAO_Stub::profile_lock_ [protected]

Mutex to protect access to the forwarding profile.

Have we successfully talked to the forward profile yet?

ACE_Atomic_Op<TAO_SYNCH_MUTEX, unsigned long> TAO_Stub::refcount_ [protected]

Reference counter.

If this stub refers to a collocated object then we need to hold on to the servant's ORB (which may be different from the client ORB) so that, 1. we know that the ORB will stay alive long enough, and, 2. we can search for the servant/POA's status starting from the ORB's RootPOA.

All objref representations carry around a type ID.
