[Ace-users] [tao-users] About POA Manager in TAO

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Santos,

Sure, but please send all questions about TAO to the tao-users mailing
list, not to me directly.

It's not clear wha tyou mean by "queue the requests sent to an object in
order to invoke them in the future."  Please explain what you're trying
to do.  Moreover, I recommend you take a look at the various CSD
examples in the TAO release.  If you haven't gotten a copy of the OCI
TAO Developer's Guide that's another good place to learn more about this
feature.

Thanks,

        Doug
