Context::parent

Overview Retrieves the parent context.
Original class CORBA::Context


Intended Usage

Context objects may be "chained" together to achieve a particular defaulting behavior. Property searches on a child ontext recursively look in the parent context. The parent method retrieves the parent of the target Context object.

IDL Syntax

  CORBA::Context_ptr parent() const;

Input parameters

None

Return values

Context_ptr
A pointer to the parent context, if any, or a null pointer. Ownership of the return value is maintained by the Context; the return value must not be freed by the caller.
