Administering a Tuxedo Application at Run Time

Tobj_Bootstrap::register_callback_port

Synopsis

Registers the joint client/server's listening port in IIOP Handler (ISH).

C++ Mapping

void register_callback_port(CORBA::Object_ptr objref);

Parameter

objref

The object reference created by the joint client/server.

Exceptions

BAD_PARAM

Raised if the object is nil or if the host contained in the object does not match the connection.

IMP_LIMIT

Raised if the register_callback_port method is called more than once.

Description

This C++ member function (or Java method) is called to notify the ISH of a listening port in the joint client/server. This method should only be used for joint client/server ORBs that do not support GIOP 1.2 bidirectional capabilities (that is GIOP 1.0 and 1.1 client ORBs). For GIOP 1.0 and 1.1, the ISH supports only one listening port per joint client/server; therefore, the register_callback_port method should only be called once per connected joint client/server.

Usage Notes

The following information must be given consideration when using this method:

If the register_callback_port method is not invoked by the joint client/server, the callback port is not registered with the ISH and the server defaults to Asymmetric Outbound IIOP. In this case, you must start the server's IIOP Listener (ISL) with the -O option. The -O option enables Asymmetric outbound IIOP; otherwise, server-to-client invocations will not be allowed by the ISL/ISH.
If you are using the BEAWrapper Callbacks API instead of the POA and you want to use bidirectional behavior, you always need to invoke the register_callback_port method, even when you are using a ISH that supports GIOP 1.2.
If you want to use bidirectional capability for a callback object, you must invoke the register_callback_port method before you pass the callback object reference to the server.

Return Values

None.
