public interface POAOperations
A POA object manages the implementation of a collection of objects. The POA supports a name space for the objects, which are identified by Object Ids. A POA also provides a name space for POAs. A POA is created as a child of an existing POA, which forms a hierarchy starting with the root POA. A POA object must not be exported to other processes, or externalized with ORB::object_to_string.
| Method Summary | |
|---|---|
|  void | activate_object_with_id(byte[] id,
                        Servant p_servant)This operation enters an association between the specified Object Id and the specified servant in the Active Object Map. |

           Policy[] policies)This operation creates a new POA as a child of the target POA. | 
|  Object | create_reference_with_id(byte[] oid,
                         String intf)This operation creates an object reference that encapsulates the specified Object Id and interface repository Id values. |

This id is guaranteed unique for the life span of the POA in the process. For persistent POAs, this means that if a POA is created in the same path with the same name as another POA, these POAs are identical and, therefore, have the same id. For transient POAs, each POA is unique.
