Working with IDL CORBA - Deprecated

PowerDesigner supports modeling in the Interface Definition Language.

IDL stands for Interface Definition Language. It was defined for the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) to enable client/server object interaction.

The IDL language is independent from the platform you are working on. In this manual, we refer to version 2.4 of the IDL-CORBA specification, and we support the concepts defined in the UML Profile for CORBA Specification from the Object Management Group (OMG).

• IDL Objects
  PowerDesigner supports modeling for all IDL objects.
• Generating for IDL
  IDL generation produces files with the .idl extension. One IDL file is generated per package.
• Reverse Engineering IDL Files
  You can reverse engineer IDL files to create classes and interfaces with their attributes and operations in a class diagram.
