[jacorb-developer] Meaning of each generated file by JacORB IDL compiler

[Kujtim Hyseni]

Hi Phil and thanks for answering!

I really need to know short description of function of each file (in single line) and whether it is used only by client, server or both of them. Can you provide such an info :) since I really don't have so much time to get that info? I understand the process as a whole but need some precise info to put in a document regarding the files generated by JacORB. There is a nice documentation in ORBit (C implementation of CORBA) regarding my question, but don't know whether you have seen that!

Thank you in forward!

Kujtim

Hi Kujtim,

I've seen you on this list for years, I'm surprised this question is just coming up now. I suggest try some google based research, also visit the OMG documentation base, starting with http://www.omg.org/spec/I2JAV/ where you will find PDFs containing all you need to answer your question thoroughly.

Here's a little overview: The files you mention contain the Java source which is necessary for you to create applications that either implement the objects for the TempSensor and Termostat interfaces, or to use those implementations from client applications using those interfaces. Just as Java code gets rendered as bytecode in *.class files so that the JVM can process them, Your IDL is rendered into Java, creating the files you cite.

Is this what you are looking for or am I misunderstanding your question?

Best regards,
-Phil
