Hi,
I apologise if this has been answered previously. The problem is :-
I have a corba server which maintains a tree hierarchy of corba objects
defined in some fixed idl, i.e (simplified) Project-Report-Documents. I am
only interested in manipulating documents, the project and report objects
just contain dumb attributes (i.e name, description). The document however
is the entity which needs to be operated on.
I have to be able to navigate to the document displaying a tree structure on
the client side. I want to manipulate the document using a stateful session
bean (maintains a reference to the corba server)
My question is how do I model the corba tree structure and navigate it. My
first passwas
i) The session bean should have methods like String[] getProjects(),
String[] getReports(String projectId), String[]
getDocuments(projectId,reportId), setCurrentDocument(String projectId,
reportId, documentName). Each method would delegate to the appropriate corba
proxy.
This looks very wrong! I am getting the impression that the hierarchical
structure on the corba server represent a directory structure. Could I
construct/maintain a (LDAP) directory which reflected the hierarchy store on
the CorbaServer. Then EJB beans could also use this directory to find
documents.
Another problem how do you ensure that the JNDI structure is synchronised
with the actual hierarchy that the corba objects represent.
Regards
Kieron Edwards
