CORBA::_boa

Overview Returns a pointer to the BOA object within a server.
Original class CORBA


Intended Usage

Implementations of IDL interfaces, running in a server process, can use this method to obtain a BOA_ptr to the BOA object residing in the server. In the IBM implementation, _boa() is a static member function in the CORBA class, but CORBA specifies that , to be ORB-portable, applications should not assume where _boa() is defined, only that it is available within the implementation of the IDL interface. The return value should be released using CORBA::release(BOA_ptr).

IDL Syntax

  static BOA_ptr _boa();

Input parameters

None

Return values

CORBA::BOA_ptr
A pointer to the BOA object residing in the server. The return value should be released using CORBA::release(BOA_ptr).

Example

See the example for the CORBA::is_nil method.
