CORBA module: Container Interface

Overview The Container interface is used to form a containment hierarchy in the Interface Repository.
File name wasir.idl
Local-only True
Ancestor interfaces IRObject Interface
Exceptions CORBA::SystemException
Supported operations Container::contents
Container::create_alias
Container::create_constant
Container::create_enum
Container::create_exception
Container::create_interface
Container::create_module
Container::create_native
Container::create_struct
Container::create_union
Container::describe_contents
Container::lookup
Container::lookup_name


Intended Usage

A Container can contain any number of objects derived from the Contained interface. All Containers, except for Repository, are also derived from Contained. The Container interface is not itself instantiated as a means of accessing the Interface Repository. As an ancestor to certain Interface Repository objects, it provides a specific list of operations as noted below. Those Interface Repository objects that inherit (directly or indirectly) the operations defined in Container include: Repository, ModuleDef, and InterfaceDef.

Syntax

     Interface Container:IRObject
        {
           //read interface

           ContainedSeq contents (in DefinitionKind limit_type
                                  in boolean exclude_inherited);
           ContainedSeq lookup_name (in Identifier search_name,
