It is a -batch file that runs under 4NT. Work is in progress for a regular -batch file that performs the same action. We'll probably get it -working on other platforms as soon as it is completed. - ----------------------------------------- - -DOCUMENTATION FOR THE EXAMPLE -============================= - -Context: The Quoter example serves several tests, the first is the test - of several multithreading policies and the second is showing the - use of the Life Cycle Service as it is defined in the - CORBA Common Object Services specification. - -Life Cycle Service use-case: - -several processes exist: server, - Factory_Finder, - Generic_Factory, - Life_Cycle_Service - client - -several object exist: Quoter, - Quoter_Factory, - Quoter_Factory_Finder, - Quoter_Generic_Factory, - Quoter_Life_Cycle_Service - -server: The server process contains two kind of objects: Quoter and - Quoter_Factory's. A Quoter is a very simple Object supporting - only one method. The focus is not on a sophisticated object - but on showing how policies work. - The object Quoter_Factory serves as a factory for Quoters. - -Factory_Finder: The COS spec. introduces the concept of a Factory Finder - which is capable to find proper factories. The Naming - Service is used as lookup-mechanism. A reference to - the Factory_Finder is passed as parameter of any copy - or move request. - -Generic_Factory: This process supports the object Quoter_Generic_Factory (QGF). - The QGF supports the GenericFactory interface introduced by - the COS specification. It forwards create_object requests to - more concrete factories, e.g. the Quoter_Factory. The - concrete factories are found via the Naming Service. - -Life_Cycle_Service: This process is very similar to the Generic_Factory - proocess. It also supports an Object, which conforms to - the GenericFactory interface. The Quoter_Life_Cycle_Service - conforms to the idea of a life cycle service as it is - introduced by the COS specification. The Quoter_Life_Cycle_Service - is neutral against the Quoter example. It is not dependent - on it. Only interfaces defined by the CosLifeCycle.idl file - are used. The implemenation uses the COS Trading Service - manage registered Generic Factories, as the Quoter_Generic_Factory - for example. A lookup on the Trading Service is performed - when a create_object request is invoked on it. - -client: Creates one Quoter through using the Quoter_Factory_Finder. After that - the copy method of Quoter is invoked to copy the Quoter to an other - location, which is in this example the same location, but that does - not matter so much. The concept is important in this example. - - The objects are invoked in the following order: - client->Quoter->Quoter_Factory_Finder->Quoter_Life_Cycle_Service - ->Quoter_Generic_Factory->Quoter_Factory - - - -!!!!Note: -To make use of the move operation you need to use the -sm switch on -the perl script. This activates in the server multiple objects, which is needed for -moving. - -RUNNING THE EXAMPLE -=================== - -run_test - -Name Server ------------ - -Found under TAO\Orbsvcs, this is run for connections from the -server, client, and factory finder. Plans to move this into the -server are under consideration. - -To run with the default settings, use - -run_tests /ns - -Quoter Server -------------- - -To run with the default settings, use - -run_tests /sv - - -Quoter Client -------------- - -To run with the default settings, use - -run_tests /cl - -Quoter Factory Finder ---------------------- - -To run with the default settings, use - -run_tests /ff - -Quoter example -------------- - |
