[Ace-users] [ace-users] Tie Appraoch using TAO

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Anirudh,

>Thank you for the reply and the pth to TIE implementation ...

You are quite welcome.

>The reason I did not send PRF is cause I think the problem has nothing
>to do with platform/compiler

Please always use the PRF.

>Does your reply effectively mean, that I cannot use TAO using multiple
>inheritance and the only approach is using TIE methodology?

No, it means that you really need to know what you are doing when
using multiple inheritence, whereas with the TIE approach you don't
need to know as much.

Good question - the older OCI TAO Developer's guides may discuss
this.  Please see

http://www.theaceorb.com/product/index.html

for info on all the OCI TAO Developer Guides.

Since you're using OCI's version of TAO I recommend sending your
questions to taosupport at ociweb.com since they provide excellent
commercial support for their releases of TAO.  Naturally, we encourage
and appreciate other members of the ACE+TAO user community who can
respond to questions about the OCI release if they have the answers.

You may also want to consider upgrading to ACE+TAO+CIAO x.6 (i.e., ACE
5.6.3, TAO 1.6.3, and CIAO 0.6.3), which you can download from

http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu

under the heading: "Latest Beta Kit".

The DOC groups at Washington University, UC Irvine, and Vanderbilt
University only provide "best effort" support for non-sponsors for the
latest release, as described in

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/ACE/docs/ACE-bug-process.html

Thus, if you need more "predictable" help for earlier versions of
ACE+TAO, I recommend that you check out

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/support.html

for a list of companies that will provide you with ACE+TAO commercial
support.

Thanks,

        Doug
