Description Jeff Parsons 2006-03-17 12:21:34 CST 
Subset the POA files to get a separate lib for a POA that conforms to the 
Minimum CORBA or CORBA/e specifications. This will build on the recent POA 
refactoring work by Johnny Willemsen <jwillemsen@rememdy.nl>. Tentatively 
targeted for TAO 2.0.
Comment 1 Johnny Willemsen 2006-03-20 02:39:34 CST 
Jeff, this will mean that people who need a full blown POA do need to link two
libs, is this something we want?
Comment 2 Jeff Parsons 2006-03-20 07:07:51 CST 
Well, it's more like they would be linking to maybe 13 libs instead of 12, 
most of which are handled under the hood. When I look at it that way, it 
doesn't seem like much of a change. I think if we have base projects in MPC 
like full_poa and minimum_poa, and the differences are well-documented, that 
it won't be painful for app developers. On the other hand, what about the 
developers who want minimum footprint? Do they have an option now at all?
Comment 3 Johnny Willemsen 2006-04-05 09:16:39 CDT 
accept
Comment 4 Johnny Willemsen 2006-12-06 13:52:20 CST 
using MPC with base projects and recompilation of IDL for a full ORB, CORBA/e
compact or CORBA/e micro I don't think we need the seperate the portableserver
library anymore
Comment 5 Johnny Willemsen 2007-02-21 06:40:16 CST 
closing this as invalid, with mpc we can now generate a much smaller poa library
