21 * @brief This class provides the server application with helper methods
23 * The various methods required by the server application for
24 * utilizing the ServantActivator and ServantLocator interfaces of
25 * the Servant Manager are implemented by this class. These
26 * include initialisation procedures of the ServantActivator and
27 * ServantLocator, and creation of POAs with emphasis on the
28 * servant retention policy.
39 /// Initialisation of the ORB and poa.
40 int init (int argc
, ACE_TCHAR
**argv
);
43 * This method creates a POA from the root_poa with emphasis being
44 * on the servant_retention_policy which decides the use of the
45 * ServantActivator or ServantLocator interfaces. The
46 * servent_retention_policy value is 1 for the RETAIN policy and 0
47 * for the NONRETAIN policy.
