Detailed Description

The class ORBHelper is used to create and start an Object Request Broker. This is useful because the ORB will be spawned in a separate thread. Two different initialization options are available: one using a default setup and another passing parameters to the orb (as argc and argv respectively).

TODO:

• move this class to the acsutil module
• check for memory leaks

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

nc::ORBHelper::ORBHelper

(

)

Default Constructor This constructor uses default parameters (NameService and NotifyFactory dynamically generated using the hostname). Should be used only when this object will be instantiated on the same host as manager.

nc::ORBHelper::ORBHelper	(	int	argc,
		char *	argv[]
	)

Constructor This constructor assumes all parameters needed by the ORB are passed directly in argc and argv. This constructor is much more powerful than the default and should normally be used. A sample usage would be: argc=4 argv={"", "-ORBInitRef NameService=corbaloc::hostname:xxxx/NameService", "-ORBDottedDecimalAddresses=1", "-ORBInitRef NotifyEventChannelFactory=corbaloc::hostname:xxxx/NotifyEventChannelFactory"};

virtual nc::ORBHelper::~ORBHelper

Destructor Destroys orb_mp.

Member Function Documentation

CORBA::ORB_ptr nc::ORBHelper::getORB

(

)

const [inline]

getORB() This method merely returns the ORB.

Returns:

A pointer to the orb spawned by this class.

References orb_mp.

void nc::ORBHelper::init_ORB	(	int	argc,
		char *	argv[]
	)			[private]

Called by ORBHelper(int argc, char *argv[]) It also initializes CORBA references, gets POA & POA manager, activates POA mgr.

Parameters:

	argc	Number of arguments to CORBA::ORB_init(...)
	argv	Arguments to CORBA::ORB_init(...)

Exceptions:

ACSErrTypeCommon::CORBAProblemEx

Returns:

void

void nc::ORBHelper::init_ORB

(

)

[private]

Called by ORBHelper() It also initializes CORBA references, gets POA & POA manager, activates POA mgr.

Returns:

void

Exceptions:

ACSErrTypeCommon::CORBAProblemEx

void nc::ORBHelper::operator=

(

const ORBHelper &

)

[private]

ALMA C++ coding standards state assignment operators should be disabled.

void nc::ORBHelper::runOrb

(

)

Runs the orb in a separate thread. This has to be called manually!

Returns:

void

Exceptions:

ACSErrTypeCommon::CouldntCreateThreadEx

static void* nc::ORBHelper::runOrbThread

(

void *

pThis

)

[static, private]

Run the orb in a BACI thread because orb_mp->run() is a blocking call. Called by runOrb.

Parameters:

pThis

a pointer to "this".
