public  void connect(Object obj) 
{
        throw new NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Connects the given servant object (a Java object that is an instance of the server implementation class) to the ORB. The servant class must extend the ImplBase class corresponding to the interface that is supported by the server. The servant must thus be a CORBA object reference, and inherit from org.omg.CORBA.Object. Servants created by the user can start receiving remote invocations after the method connect has been called. A servant may also be automatically and implicitly connected to the ORB if it is passed as an IDL parameter in an IDL method invocation on a non-local object, that is, if the servant object has to be marshalled and sent outside of the process address space.

Calling the method connect has no effect when the servant object is already connected to the ORB.

Deprecated by the OMG in favor of the Portable Object Adapter APIs.

}

Create a TypeCode object for an IDL native type.

 public NVList create_operation_list(Object oper) 
{
        // If we came here, it means that the actual ORB implementation

        }
        catch( Exception exr ) {
            throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
        }
}

Creates an NVList initialized with argument descriptions for the operation described in the given OperationDef object. This OperationDef object is obtained from an Interface Repository. The arguments in the returned NVList object are in the same order as in the original IDL operation definition, which makes it possible for the list to be used in dynamic invocation requests.

 abstract public OutputStream create_output_stream()
Creates a new org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream into which
IDL method parameters can be marshalled during method invocation.

 public Policy create_policy(int type,
    Any val) throws PolicyError 
{
        // Currently not implemented until PIORB.
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Can be invoked to create new instances of policy objects of a specific type with specified initial state. If create_policy fails to instantiate a new Policy object due to its inability to interpret the requested type and content of the policy, it raises the PolicyError exception with the appropriate reason.

 abstract public TypeCode create_recursive_sequence_tc(int bound,
    int offset)Deprecated! Use -  a combination of create_recursive_tc and create_sequence_tc instead

Creates a TypeCode object representing a
a recursive IDL sequence.

For the IDL struct Node in following code fragment,
the offset parameter for creating its sequence would be 1:
Struct Node {
long value;
Sequence <Node> subnodes;
};

 public TypeCode create_recursive_tc(String id) 
{
        // implemented in subclass
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Create a recursive TypeCode object which serves as a placeholder for a concrete TypeCode during the process of creating TypeCodes which contain recursion. The id parameter specifies the repository id of the type for which the recursive TypeCode is serving as a placeholder. Once the recursive TypeCode has been properly embedded in the enclosing TypeCode which corresponds to the specified repository id, it will function as a normal TypeCode. Invoking operations on the recursive TypeCode before it has been embedded in the enclosing TypeCode will result in a BAD_TYPECODE exception.

For example, the following IDL type declaration contains recursion:

Struct Node {
Sequence<Node> subnodes;
};

To create a TypeCode for struct Node, you would invoke the TypeCode creation operations as shown below:

String nodeID = "IDL:Node:1.0";
TypeCode recursiveSeqTC = orb.create_sequence_tc(0, orb.create_recursive_tc(nodeID));
StructMember[] members = { new StructMember("subnodes", recursiveSeqTC, null) };
TypeCode structNodeTC = orb.create_struct_tc(nodeID, "Node", members);

Also note that the following is an illegal IDL type declaration:

Struct Node {
Node next;
};

Recursive types can only appear within sequences which can be empty. That way marshaling problems, when transmitting the struct in an Any, are avoided.

 abstract public TypeCode create_sequence_tc(int bound,
    TypeCode element_type)
Creates a TypeCode object representing an IDL sequence.
The TypeCode object is initialized with the given bound and
element type.

 abstract public TypeCode create_string_tc(int bound)
Creates a TypeCode object representing a bounded IDL
string.
The TypeCode object is initialized with the given bound,
which represents the maximum length of the string. Zero indicates
that the string described by this type code is unbounded.

 abstract public TypeCode create_struct_tc(String id,
    String name,
    StructMember[] members)
Creates a TypeCode object representing an IDL struct.
The TypeCode object is initialized with the given id,
name, and members.

 abstract public TypeCode create_union_tc(String id,
    String name,
    TypeCode discriminator_type,
    UnionMember[] members)
Creates a TypeCode object representing an IDL union.
The TypeCode object is initialized with the given id,
name, discriminator type, and members.

 public TypeCode create_value_box_tc(String id,
    String name,
    TypeCode boxed_type) 
{
        // implemented in subclass
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Creates a TypeCode object for an IDL value box.

 public TypeCode create_value_tc(String id,
    String name,
    short type_modifier,
    TypeCode concrete_base,
    ValueMember[] members) 
{
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Create a TypeCode object for an IDL value type. The concrete_base parameter is the TypeCode for the immediate concrete valuetype base of the valuetype for which the TypeCode is being created. It may be null if the valuetype does not have a concrete base.

 abstract public TypeCode create_wstring_tc(int bound)
Creates a TypeCode object representing a bounded IDL
wstring (wide string).
The TypeCode object is initialized with the given bound,
which represents the maximum length of the wide string. Zero indicates
that the string described by this type code is unbounded.

 public  void destroy() 
{
        throw new NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Destroys the ORB so that its resources can be reclaimed. Any operation invoked on a destroyed ORB reference will throw the OBJECT_NOT_EXIST exception. Once an ORB has been destroyed, another call to init with the same ORBid will return a reference to a newly constructed ORB.

If destroy is called on an ORB that has not been shut down, it will start the shut down process and block until the ORB has shut down before it destroys the ORB.
If an application calls destroy in a thread that is currently servicing an invocation, the BAD_INV_ORDER system exception will be thrown with the OMG minor code 3, since blocking would result in a deadlock.

For maximum portability and to avoid resource leaks, an application should always call shutdown and destroy on all ORB instances before exiting.

 public  void disconnect(Object obj) 
{
        throw new NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Disconnects the given servant object from the ORB. After this method returns, the ORB will reject incoming remote requests for the disconnected servant and will send the exception org.omg.CORBA.OBJECT_NOT_EXIST back to the remote client. Thus the object appears to be destroyed from the point of view of remote clients. Note, however, that local requests issued using the servant directly do not pass through the ORB; hence, they will continue to be processed by the servant.

Calling the method disconnect has no effect if the servant is not connected to the ORB.

Deprecated by the OMG in favor of the Portable Object Adapter APIs.

 public Current get_current() 
{
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Retrieves a Current object. The Current interface is used to manage thread-specific information for use by services such as transactions and security.

 abstract public Context get_default_context()
Gets the default Context object.

 abstract public Request get_next_response() throws WrongTransaction
Gets the next Request instance for which a response
has been received.

 abstract public TypeCode get_primitive_tc(TCKind tcKind)
Retrieves the TypeCode object that represents
the given primitive IDL type.

 public boolean get_service_information(short service_type,
    ServiceInformationHolder service_info) 
{
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

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_info, 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).

 public static ORB init() 
{
        if (singleton == null) {
            String className = getSystemProperty(ORBSingletonClassKey);
            if (className == null)
                className = getPropertyFromFile(ORBSingletonClassKey);
            if (className == null)
                className = defaultORBSingleton;
            singleton = create_impl(className);
        }
        return singleton;
}

Returns the ORB singleton object. This method always returns the same ORB instance, which is an instance of the class described by the org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass system property.

This no-argument version of the method init is used primarily as a factory for TypeCode objects, which are used by Helper classes to implement the method type. It is also used to create Any objects that are used to describe union labels (as part of creating a TypeCode object for a union).

This method is not intended to be used by applets, and in the event that it is called in an applet environment, the ORB it returns is restricted so that it can be used only as a factory for TypeCode objects. Any TypeCode objects it produces can be safely shared among untrusted applets.

If an ORB is created using this method from an applet, a system exception will be thrown if methods other than those for creating TypeCode objects are invoked.

 public static ORB init(String[] args,
    Properties props) 
{
        //
        // Note that there is no standard command-line argument for
        // specifying the default ORB implementation. For an
        // application you can choose an implementation either by
        // setting the CLASSPATH to pick a different org.omg.CORBA
        // and it's baked-in ORB implementation default or by
        // setting an entry in the properties object or in the
        // system properties.
        //
        String className = null;
        ORB orb;
        if (props != null)
            className = props.getProperty(ORBClassKey);
        if (className == null)
            className = getSystemProperty(ORBClassKey);
        if (className == null)
            className = getPropertyFromFile(ORBClassKey);
        if (className == null)
            className = defaultORB;
        orb = create_impl(className);
        orb.set_parameters(args, props);
        return orb;
}

Creates a new ORB instance for a standalone application. This method may be called from applications only and returns a new fully functional ORB object each time it is called.

 public static ORB init(Applet app,
    Properties props) 
{
        String className;
        ORB orb;
        className = app.getParameter(ORBClassKey);
        if (className == null && props != null)
            className = props.getProperty(ORBClassKey);
        if (className == null)
            className = getSystemProperty(ORBClassKey);
        if (className == null)
            className = getPropertyFromFile(ORBClassKey);
        if (className == null)
            className = defaultORB;
        orb = create_impl(className);
        orb.set_parameters(app, props);
        return orb;
}

Creates a new ORB instance for an applet. This method may be called from applets only and returns a new fully-functional ORB object each time it is called.

 abstract public String[] list_initial_services()
Returns a list of the initially available CORBA object references,
such as "NameService" and "InterfaceRepository".

 abstract public String object_to_string(Object obj)
Converts the given CORBA object reference to a string.
Note that the format of this string is predefined by IIOP, allowing
strings generated by a different ORB to be converted back into an object
reference.

The resulting String object may be stored or communicated
in any way that a String object can be manipulated.

 public  void perform_work() 
{
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Performs an implementation-dependent unit of work if called by the main thread. Otherwise it does nothing. The methods work_pending and perform_work can be used in conjunction to implement a simple polling loop that multiplexes the main thread among the ORB and other activities.

 abstract public boolean poll_next_response()
Finds out if any of the deferred (asynchronous) invocations have
a response yet.

 abstract public Object resolve_initial_references(String object_name) throws InvalidName
Resolves a specific object reference from the set of available
initial service names.

 public  void run() 
{
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

This operation blocks the current thread until the ORB has completed the shutdown process, initiated when some thread calls shutdown. It may be used by multiple threads which get all notified when the ORB shuts down.

 abstract public  void send_multiple_requests_deferred(Request[] req)
Sends multiple dynamic (DII) requests asynchronously.

 abstract public  void send_multiple_requests_oneway(Request[] req)
Sends multiple dynamic (DII) requests asynchronously without expecting
any responses. Note that oneway invocations are not guaranteed to
reach the server.

 abstract protected  void set_parameters(String[] args,
    Properties props)
Allows the ORB implementation to be initialized with the given
parameters and properties. This method, used in applications only,
is implemented by subclass ORB implementations and called
by the appropriate init method to pass in its parameters.

 abstract protected  void set_parameters(Applet app,
    Properties props)
Allows the ORB implementation to be initialized with the given
applet and parameters. This method, used in applets only,
is implemented by subclass ORB implementations and called
by the appropriate init method to pass in its parameters.

 public  void shutdown(boolean wait_for_completion) 
{
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Instructs the ORB to shut down, which causes all object adapters to shut down, in preparation for destruction.
If the wait_for_completion parameter is true, this operation blocks until all ORB processing (including processing of currently executing requests, object deactivation, and other object adapter operations) has completed. If an application does this in a thread that is currently servicing an invocation, the BAD_INV_ORDER system exception will be thrown with the OMG minor code 3, since blocking would result in a deadlock.
If the wait_for_completion parameter is FALSE, then shutdown may not have completed upon return.

While the ORB is in the process of shutting down, the ORB operates as normal, servicing incoming and outgoing requests until all requests have been completed. Once an ORB has shutdown, only object reference management operations may be invoked on the ORB or any object reference obtained from it. An application may also invoke the destroy operation on the ORB itself. Invoking any other operation will throw the BAD_INV_ORDER system exception with the OMG minor code 4.

The ORB.run method will return after shutdown has been called.

 abstract public Object string_to_object(String str)
Converts a string produced by the method object_to_string
back to a CORBA object reference.

 public boolean work_pending() 
{
        throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT();
}

Returns true if the ORB needs the main thread to perform some work, and false if the ORB does not need the main thread.
