Facets represent a CORBA interface. |
A component can support multiple interfaces. Clients of a component can navigate through these facets. |
Components can be associated with values called primary key value identifying the instance of the component in its home context. |
Association between primary key value and component instance is kept by the home. |
Component Home is a manager for a specific component type to support life cycle and keep the association information about primary key value and the component instance, each home only manages one type of component. |
IDL description of the component defines the supported interfaces. |
