JaguarORB objects
jaguarorb.Object_To_String ( object )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
jaguarorb |
An instance of JaguarORB. |
object |
The CORBA object that will be converted to a string. The string representation of a CORBA object is an Interoperable Object Reference (IOR) that describes how to connect to the server hosting the object. EAServer supports both standard format IORs (which are hex-encoded) and a URL format that is human-readable. |
String. Returns the string representation of a CORBA object.
The Object_To_String function can be used to serialize a proxy object reference. By serializing an object reference, you can save the state of the object so that it persists after the client terminates processing.
Object_To_String is typically used in conjunction with String_To_Object, which allows you to deserialize an object reference.
The following example shows the use of the Object_To_String function to serialize a proxy object reference:
Payroll payroll
JaguarORB my_orb
...
my_orb = CREATE JaguarORB
my_orb.init("ORBRetryCount=3,ORBRetryDelay=1000")
...
String payroll_ior = my_orb.Object_To_String(payroll)
