4.2.3 Getting Service Information


   4.2.3.1 get_service_information

   boolean get_service_information (

   in ServiceType service_type;

   out ServiceInformation service_information; );

   The get_service_information operation is used to obtain information about CORBA facilities and services that are supported by this ORB. The service type for which information is being requested is passed in as the in parameter service_type, the values defined by constants in the CORBA module. If service information is available for that type, that is returned in the out parameter service_information, and the operation returns the value TRUE. If no information for the requested services type is available, the operation returns FALSE (i.e., the service is not supported by this ORB).

   4.2.4 Creating a New Context

4.2.4.1 get_default_context

void get_default_context(

out Context

// PIDL
ctx // context object

   );

   This operation creates a new empty Context object every time it is called. The operation is defined in the ORB interface.
