 | | 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. |
