Foil 36 Example: IDL Specification

From CORBA Common Object Request Broker Architecture Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Geoffrey Fox, Wojtek Furmanski, Nancy McCracken, Chao-Wei Ou, Shrideep Pallickara


1 The first step in the CORBA object development process is to specify the object in IDL
2 IDL looks like a static subset of C++
3 Atomic IDL unit is called a module and it contains a set of class interfaces
4 Class interfaces contain attributes and methods (similar to Java interfaces)
5 Method arguments can be scalars, vectors, or sequences of scalars, vectors or lists (but not general objects, at least in CORBA 2.0)
