CORBA 2.6 Programmer's Guide for C++

Clients running on a NonStop system
These processes reside on the same NonStop system (or Expand network) as the NonStop CORBA
Object Request Broker (ORB) and act as CORBA clients.
Clients running elsewhere as network or remote clients
These processes reside on some other system (not the same NonStop system or Expand network as
the NonStop CORBA ORB). The processes act as CORBA clients. Such network clients send
IIOP requests for the services of an application through the NonStop CORBA communication
services.
Network clients often use a different vendor's ORB. The IIOP protocol allows the different ORBs
to communicate.
Servers running on a NonStop system
These processes run on a NonStop system and act as CORBA servers. Server processes act as host
processes for CORBA application objects. The server process can be implemented as server pools
(TS/MP server classes) to provide scalability, fault tolerance, or both.
Sample Programs
NonStop CORBA includes sample programs for the NSK server. The sample programs demonstrate
some features of NonStop CORBA as shown in the following table.
Table 1.1. NSK C++ Sample Programs
Program Name Key Features
bank
Illustrates the concept of legacy wrapping. You should be familiar with
the basic concepts presented in this advanced topic, for example, see the
stock sample program.
eventservice
Demonstrates the use of the NonStop CORBA Event Service. The Event
Service decouples communication between objects. A supplier object
produces events. A consumer object processes that event data. The Event
Channel is an intermediary which permits suppliers and consumers to be
decoupled.
INS
Illustrates some of the basic concepts of Interoperable Naming Service
(INS) programming with the NonStop CORBA C++ ORB.
ots_bank
Contains a simple client, a transaction-aware client, and a
transaction-aware server pool. The simple client is a copy of the
.../samples/bank client. The transaction-aware client and
server were taken from .../samples/bank and converted to use
OTS.
portable-interceptor
Demonstrates basic aspects of request-type portable interceptors.
