15.1 Implementing Interfaces

To define an implementation in C++, you define a C++ class with any valid C++ name. For each operation in the interface, the class defines a non-static member function with the mapped name of the operation (the mapped name is the same as the OMG IDL identifier).

The server application mapping specifies two alternative relationships between the implementation class supplied by the application and the generated class or classes for the interface. Specifically, the mapping requires support for both inheritance-based relationships and delegation-based relationships. Conforming applications may use either or both of these alternatives. Oracle Tuxedo CORBA supports both inheritance-based and delegation-based relationships.
