## Detailed Description

TAO_Stub.

Per-objref data includes the (protocol-specific) Profile, which is handled by placing it into a subclass of this type along with data that may be used in protocol-specific caching schemes. The type ID (the data specified by CORBA 2.0 that gets exposed "on the wire", and in stringified objrefs) is held by this module. The stub APIs are member functions of this type.

| NON-THREAD SAFE version of reset_profiles (void);.

ACE_INLINE void TAO_Stub::servant_orb | ( | CORBA::ORB_ptr | orb | ) |

## Member Data Documentation

TAO_MProfile TAO_Stub::base_profiles_`[protected]`

| Ordered list of profiles for this object.

TAO_MProfile* TAO_Stub::forward_profiles_`[protected]`

| The list of forwarding profiles. This is actually implemented as a linked list of TAO_MProfile objects.

IOP::IOR* TAO_Stub::forwarded_ior_info_`[protected]`

| Forwarded IOR info.

IOP::IOR* TAO_Stub::ior_info_`[protected]`

| The ior info. This is needed for GIOP 1.2, as the clients could receive an exception from the server asking for this info. The exception that the client receives is LOC_NEEDS_ADDRESSING_MODE. The data is set up here to be passed on to Invocation classes when they receive an exception. This info is for the base profiles that this class stores

CORBA::ORB_var TAO_Stub::orb_`[protected]`

| ORB required for reference counting. This will help us keep the ORB around until the CORBA::Object we represent dies. Todo: Why do we need both a reference to the ORB_Core and its ORB? It think the memory management rules for the ORB_Core changed, in the good old days it was the CORBA::ORB class who owned the ORB_Core, now it is the other way around....

TAO_ORB_Core_Auto_Ptr TAO_Stub::orb_core_`[protected]`

| Automatically manage the ORB_Core reference count. The ORB_Core cannot go away until the object references it creates are destroyed. There are multiple reasons for this, but in particular, the allocators used for some of the TAO_Profile objects contained on each TAO_Stub are owned by the TAO_ORB_Core. This must be the first field of the class, otherwise the TAO_ORB_Core is destroyed too early!

TAO_Policy_Set* TAO_Stub::policies_`[protected]`

| The policy overrides in this object, if nil then use the default policies.

TAO_Profile* TAO_Stub::profile_in_use_`[protected]`

| This is the profile that we are currently sending/receiving with.

ACE_Lock* TAO_Stub::profile_lock_ptr_`[protected]`

| Mutex to protect access to the forwarding profile.

size_t TAO_Stub::profile_success_`[protected]`

| Have we successfully talked to the forward profile yet?

CORBA::ULong TAO_Stub::refcount_`[protected]`

| Number of outstanding references to this object.

TAO_SYNCH_MUTEX TAO_Stub::refcount_lock_`[protected]`

| Mutex to protect reference count.

CORBA::ORB_var TAO_Stub::servant_orb_`[protected]`

| If this stub refers to a collocated object then we need to hold on to the servant's ORB (which may be different from the client ORB) so that, 1. we know that the ORB will stay alive long enough, and, 2. we can search for the servant/POA's status starting from the ORB's RootPOA.

CORBA::String_var TAO_Stub::type_id

| All objref representations carry around a type ID.
