16.5.3 DCE-CIOP No Pipes Component


   The optional component identified by TAG_DCE_NO_PIPES indicates to an ORB client that the server does not support the dce_ciop_pipe DCE-RPC interface. It is only a hint, and can be safely ignored. As described in Section 16.3, “DCE-CIOP Message Transport,? on page 16-5, the client must fall back to the array-based interface if the pipe-based interface is not available in the server.

   module DCE_CIOP { const IOP::ComponentId TAG_DCE_NO_PIPES = 102;

   };

   A TaggedComponent structure with a tag member of TAG_DCE_NO_PIPES must have an empty component_data member.

   This component is intended for use only by DCE-CIOP, and a profile should not contain more than one component with this tag.
