13.6.4 Standard IOR Profiles


   module IOP { const ProfileId TAG_INTERNET_IOP = 0; const ProfileId TAG_MULTIPLE_COMPONENTS = 1; const ProfileId TAG_SCCP_IOP = 2;

   typedef sequence <TaggedComponent> MultipleComponentProfile; };

   13.6.4.1 The TAG_INTERNET_IOP Profile

   The TAG_INTERNET_IOP tag identifies profiles that support the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol. The ProfileBody of this profile, described in detail in Section 15.7.2, “IIOP IOR Profiles? on page 15-52, contains a CDR encapsulation of a structure containing addressing and object identification information used by IIOP. Version 1.1 of the TAG_INTERNET_IOP profile also includes a sequence<TaggedComponent> that can contain additional information supporting optional IIOP features, ORB services such as security, and future protocol extensions.

   Protocols other than IIOP (such as ESIOPs and other GIOPs) can share profile information (such as object identity or security information) with IIOP by encoding their additional profile information as components in the TAG_INTERNET_IOP profile. All TAG_INTERNET_IOP profiles support IIOP, regardless of whether they also support additional protocols. Interoperable ORBs are not required to create or understand any other profile, nor are they required to create or understand any of the components defined for other protocols that might share the TAG_INTERNET_IOP profile with IIOP.

   The profile_data for the TAG_INTERNET_IOP profile is a CDR encapsulation of the IIOP::ProfileBody_1_1 type, described in Section 15.7.2, “IIOP IOR Profiles? on page 15-52.

   13.6.4.2 The TAG_MULTIPLE_COMPONENTS Profile

   The TAG_MULTIPLE_COMPONENTS tag indicates that the value encapsulated is of type MultipleComponentProfile. In this case, the profile consists of a list of protocol components, the use of which must be specified by the protocol using this profile. This profile may be used to carry IOR components, as specified in Section 13.6.5, “IOR Components? on page 13-18.

   The profile_data for the TAG_MULTIPLE_COMPONENTS profile is a CDR encapsulation of the MultipleComponentProfile type shown above.

   13.6.4.3 The TAG_SCCP_IOP Profile

   See the CORBA/IN Interworking specification (dtc/2000-02-02).
