	* tests/Bench/wire/test_i.h:
	* tests/Bench/wire/test_i.cpp: 
	* tests/Bench/wire/client.cpp: 
	* tests/Bench/wire/Makefile: Added a oneway operation to the
	  test. 

Mon Jul  7 21:38:01 2003  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

	* tao/Any.h:
	* tao/Any.cpp: Cosmetic fix. Changed char*& in the >>= operator to
	  CORBA::Char *&.

	* tao/Basic_Arguments.h: Added a public keyword in the class
	  Arg_Traits<void>. Classes by default have all the members
	  private unlike structs which are the other way around.

	* tao/Synch_Invocation.h: Fixed typos.

	* tao/UB_String_Argument_T.h: Fixed a typo in the doxygen
	  comments. 
	
	* tao/UB_String_Argument_T.cpp (interceptor_replace): Fixed a
	  bunch of compile errors with g++ 3.3 which required a explicit
	  const qualifier to pick up the right extraction operator. 

Mon Jul  7 17:53:06 2003  Jeff Parsons <j.parsons@vanderbilt.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_argument.cpp:

        * TAO_IDL/include/idl_global.h:
        * TAO_IDL/util/utl_global.cpp:

          Separated the generation of file includes in the stub header file
          into its own function call, and added a mechanism for generating
          includes of the ORB argument template classes based on what has
          been seen in the IDL file's operation declarations.

Mon Jul  7 14:39:48 2003  Jeff Parsons <j.parsons@vanderbilt.edu>

        * tao/Argument.cpp:
        * tao/Argument.h:

          Added virtual destructor to argument base class.

Mon Jul  7 14:00:01 2003  Jeff Parsons <j.parsons@vanderbilt.edu>

        * tao/Var_Array_Argument_T.cpp:
        * tao/Var_Array_Argument_T.h:

          Added template parameter required by use of TAO::Array_Traits<>.

Mon Jul  7 06:03:26 2003  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

	* tao/Array_VarOut_T.inl:
	* tao/BD_String_Argument_T.cpp:
	* tao/UB_String_Argument_T.cpp: Fixed compile errors with g++
	  3.3. There is one more error which is a show-stopper.

Mon Jul  7 04:55:40 2003  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

	* tao/IIOP_Transport.cpp:
	* tao/Invocation_Base.h:

Sun Jul 06 11:00:55 2003  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

	* tests/Bench/wire/testC.cpp: Updated to use the Invocation
	  classes.  

Sat Jul 05 18:38:58 2003  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

	* tao/Synch_Invocation.cpp (TAO): 
	* tao/Synch_Invocation.h: Added support for oneways.

Sat Jul 05 16:46:24 2003  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

	
        * tao/Array_VarOut_T.inl: Fixed a compile error on Win32 which
	  probably resulted from the merge.
	 
	* tao/GIOP_Message_Base.cpp:
	* tao/GIOP_Message_Base.h: Moved the OutpoutCDR to this
	  class. Provided an accessor to access the CDR stream. The init
	  () method now initializes CDR stream's GIOP version numbers. 
	
	* tao/GIOP_Message_Lite.cpp:
	* tao/GIOP_Message_Lite.h:  Similar changes as GIOP for GIOP
	  lite. 

	* tao/Transport_Connector.cpp:
	* tao/Transport_Connector.h: Added two new methods,
	  make_connection () and connect (). These two methods perform
	  similar tasks as that of other functions but use a
	  Profile_Transport_Resolver class instead of the Invocation
	  class. These methods are required for us to deprecate the GIOP
	  classes. 
	
	* tao/IIOP_Connector.cpp:
	* tao/IIOP_Connector.h: Provided concrete implementation for the
	  make_connection () method.

	* tao/IIOP_Transport.cpp: #if 0'ed the GIOP lite stuff. Looks like
	  it is a waste in TAO. We can slowly start deprecating it.

	* tao/Invocation_Base.cpp:
	* tao/Invocation_Base.h: New class that will serve as a bridge
	  class for the IDL compiler. The class is intentionally kept
	  simple so that the IDL the exposed code to the application will
	  not take much time to compile. The complexity is hidden off
	  elsewhere which will be within the ORB. 
	
	* tao/Invocation_Endpoint_Selectors.cpp:
	* tao/Invocation_Endpoint_Selectors.h: Added a new method
	  select_endpoint () which uses the resolver class. 
	
	* tao/ORB_Core.cpp: 
	
	* tao/Pluggable_Messaging.h: Added an accessor for the getting the
	  outbound CDR streams. 
	  
	* tao/Synch_Invocation.cpp:
	* tao/Synch_Invocation.h: Concrete implementations for synchronous
	  twoway and oneway operations. We have preliminary support for
	  simple twoway operations. 

	* tao/TAO.dsp: Added the new files into the project file. 
	
	* tao/Transport.h: Made the method messaging_object () to be
	  publically accessible. 

	* tao/operation_details.h: 
	* tao/target_specification.h: Cosmetic fixes. 
	
	* tao/Profile_Transport_Resolver.cpp: 
	* tao/Profile_Transport_Resolver.h: Simple class that does 

	  - selects the profile and the endpoint within the profile on
	    which the invocation is to be made. 

	  - finds out a connection from the transport cache if there is
	    a free one available or creates a new connection if needed. 

	* tao/Remote_Invocation.cpp:
	* tao/Remote_Invocation.h: Base class that encapsulates a bunch of
	  common invocation code. I am still not sure whether this should
	  be used as a base class or a helper utility class. Using it as a
	  base class creates a deeply coupled structure. 

Wed Jul  2 06:05:09 2003  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

	* tao/Connection_Resolver.cpp:
	* tao/Connection_Resolver.h:

	* tao/Transport_Connector.cpp:
	* tao/Transport_Connector.h: Temporary checkto move things to my
	  laptop. 
	  

Tue Jul  1 07:08:21 2003  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@dre.vanderbilt.edu>

	* Merged with the main trunk and created a branch
	  refactor-stage_4. 

Fri Jun 27 14:42:02 2003  Jeff Parsons <j.parsons@vanderbilt.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_traits.cpp:

          Changed logic for generation of declarations for Objref_Traits,
          Value_Traits, and Array_Traits specializations. These may
          not need to be generated in all cases.

        * tao/Arg_Traits_T.h:

          Cosmetic changes.

        * tao/Basic_Arguments.cpp:

          Added missing explicit template instantiation.

        * tao/TAO.dsp:

          Added missing header file to project.

Fri Jun 27 11:16:04 2003  Jeff Parsons <j.parsons@vanderbilt.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_traits.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_array/array_ci.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_interface/interface_cs.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_valuetype/valuetype_cs.cpp:

          Replace 'template<>' with 'ACE_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION'
          in declarations of specialized template classes in
          generated stub header files. Also removed 'template<>'
          from the specialization implementations in the stub
          source file. These changes please a larger number of
          compilers.

        * tao/PolicyC.cpp:
        * tao/Policy_ForwardC.h:

          Made changes corresponding to those above for the one
          interface in TAO that is forward declared in one .pidl
          files and fully defined in another - CORBA::Policy.

        * tao/Object_Argument_T.cpp:

          Removed #if 0/#endif pair that was inadvertently checked
          in.

        * tao/Sequence_T.h:

          Added include file need by gcc/cygwin.

Thu Jun 26 17:13:39 2003  Jeff Parsons <j.parsons@vanderbilt.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_array/array_ch.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_array/array_ci.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_array/array_cs.cpp:
        * tao/Array_VarOut_T.cpp:
        * tao/Array_VarOut_T.h:
        * tao/Array_VarOut_T.inl:

          Added Array_Traits to Array_VarOut_T.h. Even though
          only the slice type is used in this traits template,
          I had to have the array type for a parameter as well,
          to distinguish among more than one array with the 
          same element type. So this parameter had to be added
          to the _var and _out classes, and changed in generated
          code.

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_typedef.h:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp:

          Added overrides for the seen_in_* and used_in_*
          methods to propagate these flags to the underlying
          type.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_traits.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_visitor_traits.h:

          Completed the traits generation methods.

        * tao/BD_String_Argument_T.cpp:
        * tao/BD_String_Argument_T.h:
        * tao/Fixed_Array_Argument_T.cpp:
        * tao/Fixed_Array_Argument_T.h:
        * tao/Object_Argument_T.h:
        * tao/Var_Array_Argument_T.cpp:
        * tao/Var_Array_Argument_T.h:

          Minor changes.

        * tao/corba.h:

          Added the argument helper files to corba.h.

Wed Jun 25 19:01:33 2003  Jeff Parsons <j.parsons@vanderbilt.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_visitor_traits.h:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_traits.cpp:

          New files, a visitor that generates specialized traits template
          classes in a separate pass over the AST.

        * tao/Valuetype/Value_VarOut_T.h:

          Partial support for traits code generation, along with
          corresponding changes to ORB code, some of it temporary
	  until the hand-crafted files can be regenerated. These
	  changes add code generation for interface and valuetype
	  traits, and  modify sequence code to use some of these
	  traits.

          Also removed the _upcast and _downcast methods from
          bounded and unbounded versions of object sequences.
          These methods never seem to be called.

        * tao/Sequence_T.cpp:
        * tao/Sequence_T.i:

          Added the TAO::Object_Cast<> template struct that contains static
          wrappers for the _narrow() and upcast() methods for interfaces.
          This template is used instead of the existing tao_*_cast structs
          in generated code by sequences of interfaces. Specializations of
          this template will be added to generated code, however, to deal 
          with the case when an undefined forward declared interface is
          used in a sequence.

        * tao/PolicyC.cpp:
        * tao/Policy_ForwardC.h:

          Hand-crafted additions of TAO::Objref_Traits<> and 
          TAO::Object_Cast<> for CORBA::Policy, since it is forward declared
          in Policy_Forward.pidl and defined in Policy.pidl.

        * tao/Arg_Traits_T.h:

          Cosmetic changes.

        * tao/Object.cpp:
        * tao/Object.h:
        * tao/Typecode.cpp:
        * tao/Typecode.h:

          Changed these predefined pseudo objects to use the
          specialization approach for their argument traits,
          instead of the typedef approach, as mentioned in

          Tue Jun 24 13:48:20 2003  Jeff Parsons <j.parsons@vanderbilt.edu>

        * tao/Objref_VarOut_T.cpp:
        * tao/Objref_VarOut_T.h:

          Added template base class for the interface traits - the static
          methods used by the _var, _out and sequence classes. At the
          moment, the interface _var and _out template classes are
          using these template-wrapped static methods. The base class is
          specialized in generated code. When the existing hand-crafted
          files are regenerated, the template implementations in
          Objref_VarOut_T.cpp can be removed, as well as the T_life
          parameter from the _var and _out template classes.

        * tao/Sequence_T.cpp:
        * tao/Sequence_T.h:

          Corresponding changes for the T_cast parameter, passed to 
          sequence of objects. This struct parameter wraps methods used
          in object sequences to narrow and widen interfaces.

Tue Jun 24 13:48:20 2003  Jeff Parsons <j.parsons@vanderbilt.edu>

        * tao/Arg_Traits_T.h:

          Added this file to the repository again, decided to go back to
          the template specialization approach to specific arg traits
          instead of the typedef approach.

          Change to support the above change in approach.

        * tao/Objref_VarOut_T.cpp:
        * tao/Objref_VarOut_T.h:

          Made a start on templatizing helper structs of interface
          traits that have been generated by the IDL compler up to now.

        * tests/Bench/wire/testC.cpp:
        * tests/Bench/wire/testS.cpp:

          Changed test code to reflect the change in approach to
          specific arg traits mentioned above.

        * tao/Makefile.tao:

          Added new files to project and makefile.

        * tao/Var_Size_Argument_T.cpp:

          Changed demarshaling and Any extraction methods to call
          .inout() on the _var member instead of .out(). The _var's
          pointer has already been allocated but not initialized,
          and calling .out() will destroy it, expecting a new
          allocation, which is not the intended behavior.

          Replaced TAO::Arg_Traits_T<> subclass of the above
          basic arguments type classes with typedefs whose
          names can be easily generated by the IDL compiler.

        * tao/Object_Argument_T.cpp:
