Glossary

action point

A number of remote subcalls can be started in the T-ORB procedure “action point”. Given that the →server process is subsequently released, an action point is always a potential →end of transaction, a potential →monitoring and restart point.

The results of all subcalls are evaluated by the Continuation of the action point. The continuation is a parallel callback which is only started when all the results have been received.

A →client cannot recognize whether the →server is carrying out an action point. A server cannot recognize whether it was called from an action point.

agent

see →server

annotation

The parsers of the GINA development systems sometimes need more information than can be formulated in C++. GINA comments are used for this purpose. They are ignored by the compiler but not by the GINA parsers. These comments contain a sequence of expressions that are referred to as annotations.

application

A GINA application is a transaction-monitored application under T-ORB. A GINA appli- cation can include a number of →server processes. A non-transaction-monitored appli- cation can be connected to a transaction-monitored application using T-ORB/Client.

asynchronous request/call

When you use the T-ORB procedure “asynchronous call”, the →client does not wait for the call to be executed and the result returned. Possible results are thus discarded (see also →notification).

Under T-ORB, even asynchronous requests/calls undergo transaction monitoring, i.e. they are executed in an independent transaction after a successful end of transaction (commit). The asynchronous call under T-ORB is a relative →time request with zero delay.
