DAnCE is housed under <CODE> $CIAO_ROOT - </CODE>. We plan to enhance DAnCE in the next few months. We believe - DAnCE will replace existing tool sets in <CODE> - $CIAO_ROOT/tools</CODE>. There are a few features in - <CODE>$CIAO_ROOT/tools</CODE> that are missing in the DAnCE - implementation. Please see <a href="../TODO.html"> TODO </a> file - for more details. We plan to implement them soon and use DAnCE - continuously. - - <li> The first cut of DAnCE includes two parts: - <ul> - <li> - A modeling tool chain , <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/CoSMIC/"> - CoSMIC</a>, which is capable of describing the Assembly/Component - using <a - href="http://www.isis.vanderbilt.edu/Projects/gme/default.html"> - GME</a> as the development bed. The artifacts generated from the - CoSMIC are a set of XML descriptors. - - <!-- Tao, I realy don't understand what this means - Bala --> - <li>This run-time infrastructure that performs the actual deployment - and configuration, with a superset of the capabilities described in - OMG DnC specification with CIAO extension. </a>.<p><p> - - </ul> - <!-- Tao, can you please see whether this is needed --> - In the new DnC run-time framework we have migrated all the - functionalities present in the old CIAO runtime except the - Real-Time configuration and Static Configuration, which are - developed by Washington University in St. Louis. Currently, - the two CIAO runtime co-exist in our source and the component - implementation could be used with both framework without much - change. (For the change that one has to go through please - read <a href="./switch.html">this</a>.)<p> - - - - <li> Two operations <CODE> ciao_preactivate ()</CODE> and - <CODE>ciao_postactivate ()</CODE> have been added to the - <CODE>SessionComponent</CODE> interface. This implies that component - developers have to implement those operations within the - executor. We plan to get around this, i.e., users having to - implement these two operations, in the next month or so. <p> - - <li> - - Here is a set of updates in the CIDL Compiler.<p> - <ul> - <li>Fixed bugs in generation of inherited: home operations, - attribute operations, port operations, home factory operations, - supported operations.<p> - - <li>Added support for multiplex uses ports. This implies that users - could use "uses multiple" in their component definitions. <p> - - <li>Added automatic registration of value factories for event - consumers. This has been long outstanding. This change alleviates - component developers need to register the valuetype factory of their - eventtypes with the ORB. <p> - - <li>Added support for emits keyword and we now generate navigation - code for this.<p> - - <li>Fixed bug with multiple facets in a build that provide the same - interface.<p> - - <li>Added option <code>--gen-exec-impl</code> to generate executor - impl classes, with no-op versions of each IDL operation.<p> - - <li>Implemented get_all_facets() and get_all_consumers() navigation - methods.<p> - - <li>Added support for the IDL keywords <code>setraises</code> and - <code>getraises</code>, associated with attributes in IDL3.<p> - - <li>Added support for both subscription and event push of event types - that are a base class of the IDL-specified port type. A check is - performed during the subscribe call to make sure the eventtype is - actually an ancestor of the declared port type.<p> - - <li>Problems with generated code when the composition declaration is - nested inside one or more IDL modules has prompted a change. The - 'CIAO_GLUE_' prefix has been eliminated. The composition name is now - mapped to a C++ namespace, prefixed with 'CIDL_'. This new namespace - (as well as namespaces generated from IDL modules enclosing the - composition name, if any) encloses - <ul> - <li>the component servant class</li> - <li>the home servant class</li> - <li>all facet servant classes, if any</li> - <li>the *_Exec interface in the *E.idl file</li> - <li>all executor impl classes, if automatically generated</li> - </ul> - <p> - </ul> - <p> - - - <li> CIAO doesn't yet support features that help integrating CORBA - components with Enterprise Java Beans (EJB).<p> - - <li> Test to demonstrate composition of applications with real-time - behavior using CIAO's real-time extension was added. Please see - ACE_wrappers/TAO/CIAO/tests/RTCCM/Priority_Test.<p> - - <li> The CIAO static configurator tool has been enhanced to support - processing of RTCORBA policy related information. Please see - ACE_wrappers/TAO/CIAO/docs/static_ciao_index.html.<p> - - <li> To further interoperability with non-component-aware clients, there - are files in the $CIAO_ROOT/tools/IDL3_to_IDL2 directory that can be - compiled into an executable called tao_idl3_to_idl2. This executable - takes an IDL file (on the command line) containing IDL3 declarations - and outputs an IDL file with the IDL3 declarations converted to - equivalent IDL2. IDL2 declarations in the input file are unchanged. - See the README file in that directory for more information.<p> - -</ol> - - - -<b>Email: </b><a href="mailto:"</a<ADDRESS>ciao-users@cse.wustl.edu</ADDRESS> -</body> </html> - -<!-- LocalWords: TODOs CCM IDL CCIDL CIDL backend idl - --> |
