简单的CORBA通信代码解析

今天我想跟大家一起分享一下关于corba应用程序的建立，对于下面的代码中关于“远程过程调用”的运行机制并不是很明白，很多东西在omniorb的背后就已经帮我们完成了，但是出于对技术的热爱如果有对这方面清楚的朋友或有什么参考资料请不吝赐教，之所以写下这篇文章也是为了能跟跟多的朋友一些分享一起进步。

 

以下代码均在我的机器上运行测试并通过，开发环境是vc6.0+windows.

 

 

写一个最简单CORBA代码所要做：

1:) 定义一个IDL；

2:) 建立服务器端代码；

3:) 建立客户端代码：

 

IDL：dl编译器使用的是omniorb4.0.5版本的。

首先选在vc6.0,建立Project/Utility Project:

新建MyTime.idl 文件并将其加入到创建的工程中，MyTime.idl内容如下:

 

typedef struct strTimeOfDay { short hour; //0 - 23 short minute;//0 - 59 short second;//0 - 59 }TimeOfDay; interface Time { TimeOfDay get_gmt(); };

 

在工程中选择IDL文件，选中General选项卡：在Always use custom build step前打勾。然后选择Custom build并对其作如下设置：

Command:

../../omniORB_4.0.5/bin/x86_win32/omniidl -nf -bcxx -Wba -Wbh=.h -Wbs=.cpp -Wbd=_skel.cpp -I. -I../../.. -C../Output/IDL/src $(InputName).idl

OutPuts:

../Output/IDL/src/$(InputName).h
../Output/IDL/src/$(InputName).cpp
../Output/IDL/src/$(InputName)_skel.cpp

 

编译后会生成三个文件：MyTime.h， MyTime.cpp， MyTime_skel.cpp.

 

第二步：生成服务器端代码：

首先需要一个伺服程序去实现 get_gmt();在MyTime.h文件中该函数是一个虚函数。

class _impl_Time : public virtual omniServant { public: virtual ~_impl_Time(); virtual TimeOfDay get_gmt() = 0;

 

class POA_Time : public virtual _impl_Time, public virtual PortableServer::ServantBase { public: virtual ~POA_Time(); inline ::Time_ptr _this() { return (::Time_ptr) _do_this(::Time::_PD_repoId); } };

 

所以我们必须要继承POA_Time 去实现这个虚函数：代码如下：#include "MyTime.h" class Time_impl : public virtual POA_Time { public: virtual TimeOfDay get_gmt(); };

 

以下是我们的服务器代码main.cpp文件的实现：

#include "stdafx.h" #include <omniORB4/CORBA.h> #include "Time_Impl.h" #include <iostream.h> #include <fstream> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { //We initialize an ORB via the standard CORBA::ORB_init call CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv); // Get reference to Root POA. CORBA::Object_var obj = orb->resolve_initial_references("RootPOA"); PortableServer::POA_var poa = PortableServer::POA::_narrow(obj); // Activate POA manager PortableServer::POAManager_var mgr = poa->the_POAManager(); mgr->activate(); // Create an object Time_impl time_servant; /*This invocation of the “_this” function of “servant” implicitly performs all the following steps: 1: Creates a CORBA object under the Root POA 2: Registers servant with the Root POA as the implementation for the new object 3: Creates an object reference for the new object 4: Returns the new object reference //*/ Time_var tm = time_servant._this(); // Write its stringified reference to stdout and write into file. CORBA::String_var str = orb->object_to_string(tm); cout << str.in() << endl; std::fstream file; file.open("..//Output//IOR.txt", std::ios_base::out | std::ios_base::trunc); file<<str.in(); file.close(); // We invoke the ORB::run operation to make the ORB start listening for requests orb->run(); return 0; }

 

第三步：客户端的代码实现：

// client.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. // #include "stdafx.h" #include <afx.h> #include <iostream.h> #include <omniORB4/CORBA.h> #include <iomanip.h> #include "MyTime.h" #include <sstream> #include <fstream> #include <memory> int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { try { std::fstream file; file.open("..//Output//IOR.txt", std::ios_base::in); std::auto_ptr<char> ior(new char[1000]); file>>ior.get(); file.close(); char *pIOR = ior.get(); // Initialize orb CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc, &pIOR ); // Destringify argv[1] CORBA::Object_var obj = orb->string_to_object(pIOR); if (CORBA::is_nil(obj)) { cerr << "Nil Time reference" << endl; throw 0; } // Narrow Time_var tm = Time::_narrow(obj); if (CORBA::is_nil(tm)) { cerr << "Argument is not a Time reference" << endl; throw 0; } // Get time TimeOfDay tod = tm->get_gmt();// -- 远程过程调用【RPC】。 cout << "Time in Greenwich is " << setw(2) << setfill('0') << tod.hour << ":" << setw(2) << setfill('0') << tod.minute << ":" << setw(2) << setfill('0') << tod.second << endl; } catch (const CORBA::Exception &) { cerr << "Uncaught CORBA exception" << endl; return 1; } catch (...) { return 1; } return 0; }
