The purpose of the test is to ensure +that (1) the demarshaling of the Any and (2) the +extraction of the eventtype, are successful, since both +these actions are done interpretively by traversing the +eventtype's type code. The motivation for the test was +the failure of these actions due to missing cases in +the interpretive demarshaling code corresponding to +the kind of the eventtype's type code (CORBA::tk_event). + +There are several places the test can fail: + +- marshaling of the Any +- demarshaling of the Any +- extraction from the Any +- string compare of the sent and received eventtype members + +Note that the test code registers a valuetype factory +with the orb, a necessary step in extracting the +eventtype from the Any. In a real-world use case (such +as an event channel) such a factory would have to +be registered with the orb anywhere the eventtype is +to be demarshaled from a CDR stream or extracted from +an Any that was itself demarshaled. + +Jeff Parsons + + |
