The following are the most commonly used CORBA interfaces:
CORBA class interfaces
The CORBA interface provides the following commonly used class operations. These are used like a C++ class reference (for example CORBA::is_nil(somePointer);).
CORBA::object interfaces
The CORBA interface provides the following object interfaces:
CORBA::ORB interfaces
The CORBA interface provides the following ORB interfaces:
Note: Although object_to_string is the way to save object references for future usage, the returned data should only be used with string_to_object to reconstruct that object reference. Do not use the string for comparing equivalence of object references. The object_to_string operation may return different values at different times because various Object Services may be adding information to this IOR.
