Interface PolicyFactoryOperations

All Known Subinterfaces:

PolicyFactory

public interface PolicyFactoryOperations

A portable ORB service implementation registers an instance of the PolicyFactory interface during ORB initialization in order to enable its policy types to be constructed using ORB::create_policy(). The POA is required to preserve any policy which is registered with ORBInitInfo in this manner.

Enables policy types to be constructed using ORB::create_policy. A portable ORB service implementation registers an instance of the PolicyFactory interface during ORB initialization in order to enable its policy types to be constructed using ORB::create_policy. The POA is required to preserve any policy which is registered with ORBInitInfo in this manner.

Method Summary

Policy

create_policy(int type, Any value) The ORB calls create_policy() on a registered PolicyFactory instance when ORB::create_policy() is called for the PolicyType under which the PolicyFactory has been registered.

Method Detail

create_policy

Policy create_policy(int type,
                     Any value)
                     throws PolicyError

The ORB calls create_policy() on a registered PolicyFactory instance when ORB::create_policy() is called for the PolicyType under which the PolicyFactory has been registered. The create_policy() method then returns an instance of the appropriate interface derived from CORBA::Policy whose value corresponds to the specified CORBA::Any. If it cannot, it will raise an exception as described for ORB::create_policy().

Parameters:

type - CORBA::PolicyType specifying the type of policy being created.

value - CORBA::Any containing data with which to construct the CORBA::Policy.

Throws:

PolicyError - A PolicyError is thrown when there is a problem creating a policy
