  udk: Unoidl syntax description
The unoidl is an idl language (interface description language) which is similar to the corba idl.
Idl is a language to describe interfaces and types independently of any programming language and hardware platform.
Because the lexical conventions of the idl and the structure of the definitions have a large degree with the ANSI standard for C++.

 DCE 1.1: Remote Procedure Call - Interface Definition Language
Language punctuation that does conflict with punctuation characters used in the BNF notation is enclosed in less-than and greater-than symbols; for example,
The IDL [??]import[??] declaration specifies another interface definition whose types and constants are used by the importing interface.
The ACS specification does not affect the way the data is transmitted or received during a remote procedure call; this is determined entirely by the IDL specification.

 Interface description language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Interface Description Language (or alternately, Interface Definition Language), or IDL for short, is a computer language used to describe a software component's interface.
IDLs describe an interface in a language-neutral way, enabling communication between software components that do not share a language – for example, between components written in C and components written in Pascal.
IDLs are commonly used in Remote Procedure Call software.

 OMG CORBA IDL
The CORBA Specification, published by the Object Management Group, is both an architecture which encompasses an object model and a specification which defines among other things, an Interface Definition Language (IDL).
IDL permits interfaces to objects to be defined independent of an objects implementation.
The signature consists of a specification of parameters, the result of the operation, a specification of the exceptions that may be raised by a request and the types of parameters accompanying them, a specification of any contextual information and an indication of the execution semantics the client should expect [CORBA Specification 2.2.6 Operations].

 Developing a CORBA/IDL Client
The IDL compiler generates a number of classes such as stubs and skeletons that the client and server use to obtain references to remote objects, forward requests, and marshall incoming calls.
The Objects-by-Value specification allows complex data types to be passed between the two programming languages involved.
Compile the IDL file to create the stub classes required by your IDL client to communicate with the remote class.

Thus, the IDL specifications for the constraint-satisfaction PSM component includes both methods for constraint satisfaction that are implemented as a service, and specifications for KB access that the component uses as a client and does not implement; it is assumed that these access functions are implemented by some other component on the CORBA bus.
The IDL specification must be compiled into both server and client systems, allowing a client call to make reference to stub methods, which are then transmitted by the client ORB over the network to a server machine, where the complete implementation of these methods resides.
Therefore, IDL specifications are object-centered, and allow for inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation.

 Sample Chapter
This was not covered in traditional language mappings because it was assumed that the stubs and skeletons could be considered to be coupled with the specifics of the implementation of a particular vendorís ORB.
Although this chapter does not specifically delve into the details of the Java mapping specification, it is nevertheless useful to describe two categories of support classes that will appear in a number of the examples throughout the remainder of the book.
Java IDLís architecture and implementation are compliant with the new OMG Java language mapping, which goes beyond the language mappings of more traditional languages to provide a portable binary interface between applications, their IDL compiler-generated stubs, and ORB implementations.

 OMG Interface Definition Language
As we move through the language you should keep in mind that the goal of OMG IDL is to define interfaces and to streamline the process of distributing objects.
The OMG CORBA specification describes the IDL union as a cross between a C union and a switch statement.
This means that array indexes from one language implementation to another may be different and so you cannot send an array index from a client to a server and expect the server to point to the proper array element.

 CORBA/IDL
The CORBA 2.0 specification includes a language, called the Interface Definition Language (IDL), which is used to describe the public methods and variables contained within an object.
IDL is not intended to serve as a programming language, but merely as a language that defines the interface into the object.
The Java IDL package, which was originally targeted for release with JDK 1.1, was unbundled from the JDK in order to avoid delaying the release of the JDK.

 VisiBroker for C++ Developer's Guide: Using IDL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The Interface Definition Language (IDL) is a descriptive language (not a programming language) to describe the interfaces being implemented by the remote objects.
Once you've created the IDL file, you can use an IDL compiler to generate the client stub file and the server skeleton file in the C++ programming language.
IDL allows you to specify an interface that inherits from another interface.

 Java IDL FAQ
Java IDL is a reference implementation of a CORBA Object Request Broker for Java, including support for the IDL to Java Mapping Specification as well as a transient implementation of the CosNaming service.
Java IDL is included as a core package in Sun Microsystems' Java 2 releases (often referred to as JDK 1.2).
According to the JDK 1.2 documentation, the Java IDL in JDK 1.2 is compliant with the CORBA/IIOP 2.0 Specification (orbos/97-02-25) and the IDL-to-Java Language Mapping (orbos/98-01-06 Final).

 Introduction to IDL
IDL offers comparable capabilities but in the context of a fully programmable, high-level language, so that computation, data manipulation, and display are simultaneously available.
IDL conveys a "hands-on" feel, and a corresponding confidence that you know (or can find out) what is going on, that is largely absent in these other systems.
IDL is oriented toward data analysis and signal processing, but by comparison to IRAF, etc. it also opens a new dimension of capability to make other kinds of important numerical calculations with great efficiency and to create graphical or tabular representations of them.
