21.7.1 ORBInitializer Interface

   An Interceptor is registered by registering an associated ORBInitializer object that implements the ORBInitializer interface. When an ORB is initializing, it shall call each registered ORBInitializer, passing it an ORBInitInfo object, which is used to register its Interceptor.

   module PortableInterceptor {

   local interface ORBInitializer { void pre_init (in ORBInitInfo info); void post_init (in ORBInitInfo info);

   };};

   21.7.1.1 pre_init

   This operation is called during ORB initialization. If it is expected that initial services registered by an interceptor will be used by other interceptors, then those initial services shall be registered at this point via calls to ORBInitInfo::register_initial_reference.

   21.7.1.2 post_init

   This operation is called during ORB initialization. If a service must resolve initial references as part of its initialization, it can assume that all initial references will be available at this point.

   Calling the post_init operations is not the final task of ORB initialization. The final task, following the post_init calls, is attaching the lists of registered interceptors to the ORB. Therefore, the ORB does not contain the interceptors during calls to post_init. If an ORB-mediated call is made from within post_init, no request interceptors will be invoked on that call. Likewise, if an operation is performed that causes an IOR to be created, no IOR interceptors will be invoked.
