The container is the server's runtime support for a CORBA component implementation. |
The container defines a set of interfaces available to a component client (external types), an API for the component developer (container type), a set of interactions between the container and the rest of CORBA such as POA, ORB and services (container implementation type). |
Client's view of the component is described by Component IDL (CIDL) such as Home. These objects are stored in IR. |
