Re: Context propagation and exceptions

Hi,
Here is my question:

Are the contexts propagated back with the reply when a
RemoteException is thrown by the method of a remote
object.

Yes.

 
In the case of JRMI, is the sending_reply invoked on
the server and is the received_request invoked on the
client.

Yes (received_reply on the client).

 
Is this behaviour specified in some standards (Corba, GIOP) ?

CORBA (ORB Interoperability architecture)  specifies that it is the responsibility of the ORB to collect all service context data related to requests and replies and encode them in the generated messages. There is no mention of a specific behaviour for exceptions, so I guess it is standard to encode the contexts, even when an exception occurs (note that a specific service exists to encode information about unknown exceptions).

Best regards,

Bruno
