14.1 Global Classes

The following Oracle Tuxedo classes are global in scope:

• CORBA
• Tobj

These classes contain the predefined types, classes, and functions used in Oracle Tuxedo development.

The CORBA class contains the classes, data types, and member functions essential to using an Object Request Broker (ORB) as defined by CORBA. The Oracle Tuxedo extensions to CORBA are contained in the Tobj C++ class. The Tobj class contains data types, nested classes, and member functions that Oracle Tuxedo provides as an extension to CORBA.

Using CORBA data types and member functions in the Oracle Tuxedo product requires the CORBA:: prefix. For example, a Long is a CORBA::Long. Likewise, to use Tobj nested classes and member functions in the Oracle Tuxedo product, you need the Tobj:: prefix. For example, FactoryFinder is Tobj::FactoryFinder.
