11.5.1 Development procedure

11.5.1.1 Creation of CORBA server project

Note

Generation rules for CORBA server application targets

Targets of the main program (.EXE) and the library of business logic (.DLL) are created at the time of building on the CORBA server application.

The main program is created from the COBOL source that is set as a main program in the "Dependence" view, and other COBOL sources are all linked with library of business logic.

When creating UNICODE object

The repository file and library file used for UNICODE are provided in the Interstage Application Server. For details about developing a UNICODE application , refer to "NetCOBOL Users' Guide" and "Interstage Application Server Application Creation Guide (CORBA service)"

By specifying "Using Unicode" in the CORBA server project generation wizard, a build can be executed using the file used for UNICODE.

Use the CORBA server project generation wizard to create the CORBA server project for CORBA server application.

11.5.1.1.1 CORBA Server Project Wizard

Create a server application template and a template of the IDL file (interface definition file) required for creating a CORBA server project.

Note

Of the types of CORBA server applications, only applications with CORBA server as the target can be created.
The applications are actually created as exe and dll files.

Creating a project

Create a CORBA server project by following the procedure below.

  1. Starting the Interstage Studio workbench.

  2. Select "File" > "New" > "CORBA Server Project" from the menu bar. The "New CORBA Server Project" wizard is started.

*1: Interface Definition Language (IDL):

Format of the IDL file to be created

One module can be defined for one project. Defining a class for business methods within the module generates an IDL file interface declaration. For details on the IDL file, refer to the "Interstage Application Server Distributed Application Development Guide (CORBA Service Edition)". This section describes the format of the IDL file to be created and the declarations generated by the IDL file.

// Module declaration
module M1 {
    // Interface declaration
    interface intf1 {
         // Constant declaration
         const long a = 1 ;
         // Type declaration
         typedef sequence<long 10> b ;
         // Structure declaration
         struct c {
             short item1 ;
             long item2 ;
             long long item3 ;
         } ;
        // Exception declaration
        exception CDException {
            string CDExceptionMsg ;
            long  CDExceptionCode ;
        } ;
        // Operator declaration
        long op1(in short param1, out long param2, inout long param3)
        raises ( CDException );
    };
};
Table 11.3 Declarations generated by the IDL file

definition

Explanation

Module declaration

Declaration for a server application. One module is defined for one application.

Interface declaration

Declaration for a class. The class is for business method definition.

Constant declaration

Declaration of a constant used in a business method

Type declaration

Declaration of a type used in a business method. This declaration is used to define iteration items.

Structure declaration

Declaration of a structure. For object-oriented COBOL, this corresponds to a definition of group items. The CORBA server application wizard does not allow a structure to be defined as a structure element type.

Exception declaration

Declaration of the contents of a record that is posted if an exception is thrown. The processing of actual exception notification must be coded within the program.
The following element is automatically generated as an option. The contents of the element are fixed. Therefore, if modification is required, modify the IDL file created by the CORBA server application generation wizard.

exception CDException {
string CDExceptionMsg ;
long CDExceptionCode ;
} ;

Operator declaration

Generates one operator per business method declaration. If an exception declaration is selected as an option, a definition is generated for returning the declared record in the exception declaration in the event that an exception is thrown.

11.5.1.2.2 Edit of Files

After the model has been created, editing of the IDL file and the COBOL source file can be performed freely. However, it is necessary to synchronize the contents of the IDL file with the COBOL source file.

For example, it is necessary to modify both the IDL file and the COBOL source file when changing the predefined method definition.

IDL file

When changing the contents of the interface, modify it to be equivalent to the business method program.

Main program

In order to maintain the selected standard application format, modify only when it is necessary.

Business method program

Execute the procedures of each method.

For details about the adding process, refer to "Interstage Application Server Application Creation Guide (CORBA service)".

Server application registration program

The server application performs the registration in order to use it as a CORBA server. Use it without modification.

File used for skeleton that is created by IDL compiler

Use it without modification.

11.5.1.2.3 CORBA Server Application generation wizard

The CORBA server application generation wizard generates an interface definition file (IDL file) and a sample CORBA server application.

Start the CORBA Server Application Skeleton Code wizard by following the procedure below.

  1. Select "File" > "New" > "Other" from the menu bar. The "New" wizard starts.

  2. Select "COBOL" > "Source" > "CORBA Server Application" in the "New" wizard, and click the "Next" button. The "CORBA Server Application generation" wizard starts.

    Specify information in "New CORBA Server Application Skeleton Code" as follows:

    • On the "Module Declaration" page, specify information including a module name and exception declaration.

    • On the "Constant Declaration" page, specify information on the literals required for an interface declaration.

    • On the "Type Declaration" page, specify the type information required for an interface declaration.

    • On the "Structure Declaration" page, specify information on the structure used for an interface declaration.

    • On the "Method Declaration" page, specify information on the method used for an interface declaration.

    Table 11.4 Module Declaration

    Option

    Description

    Project name

    Specifies the project in which the generated CORBA server application source is to be stored. A project name must be specified.

    Module name

    Specifies the module name for the generated CORBA server application source. A module name must be specified.

    Displays the class name for the generated CORBA server application. The class name is the same as the project name. A class name is generated as an interface name in the IDL file after the wizard is completed.

    Generate exceptions

    Specifies whether to make the default exception declaration in the generated CORBA server application.
    If this option is specified, the following declaration is generated in the IDL file:

    exception CDException {
    string CDExceptionMsg ;
    long CDExceptionCode ;
    } ;

    Generate default code

    Specifies whether to generate the default process for the generated CORBA server application.
    If this option is specified, the default process of CORBA server applications is generated in the program source.

    Generate comments

    Specifies whether to generate a comment in the generated CORBA server application.
    If this option is specified, a comment is generated in the IDL file.

    Use precompiler

    When the pre-compiler link information is set to the project of "Project name", this item is enabled. When checked, the extension of the COBOL source file becomes an extension set to the precompiler link information.

    For the precompiler link information, see "Table 4.4 Precompiler link information ".

Note

For IDL compilation during source generation, the Interstage service must be started in advance. If the wizard displays the message "The environment which compiles IDL is not prepare." on the "Module Declaration" page during source generation, click "Cancel" to quit the wizard. Start the Interstage service before restarting the source generation wizard.

    2. To automatically deploy resources to Interstage Application Server, check "Deploy before launching".

    3. Enter the CORBA server project name in "Project to be deployed", or click "Browse" and select the CORBA server project.

  7. Click "Debug" to start debugging.

  8. To quit debugging, select "Terminate" in the Debug view to stop the CORBA WorkUnit.


Select a CORBA server project from the Dependency view or the Structure view, and select "Run" > "Debug" > "CORBA WorkUnit" from the menu bar. This starts debugging under the default settings.

Note

  • If services that are required for management of Interstage (Interstage management services) have not started, the list of CORBA WorkUnits in "CORBA WorkUnit name" will not be displayed correctly. In cases such as this, do not create the CORBA WorkUnit launch configuration until after the Management Services have started.
    For starting the Interstage management service, refer to "Checking the environment settings of Interstage Application Server"

  • If services that are required for connection to the local Interstage Application Server are stopped by any debugging that uses the CORBA WorkUnit launch configuration, start those services. In an OS that has a User Account Control (UAC) function, when the service starts, a dialog box will appear telling you that you need administrator permissions. In such a case, change your permissions according to the information displayed.

The methods for creating a CORBA work unit (work unit of CORBA application) are as follows.

For details about the CORBA work unit creation method from the Interstage management console, refer to "Interstage Application Server Operation Guide (basic)". This section explains the methods of creating a CORBA work unit (MyCORBADebug) using the work unit generation command according to the CORBA work unit definition file for local debugger and command.

Execution of work unit generation command (isaddwudef)

To use the CORBA work unit definition file as an argument, execute the following commands in a command prompt.

 isaddwudef NetCOBOL install folder\Samples\CORBA\MyCORBADebug.wu

When using spaces in the CORBA work unit definition file name, enclose the file name in double quote characters. For details about the isaddwudef command, refer to "Interstage Application Server Reference Manual (commands)"

Note

  • Information such as the work folder is set in the "Path", "Current Directory" property of the CORBA work unit definition file. Generally, although the value is set from the information from the Interstage installed destination folder, correct the setting when errors exist in the path

  • Settings for environment variables PATH and CLASSPATH are necessary on creation of the CORBA work unit. When errors happen that involve these environment variables, set environment variables PATH and CLASSPATH, and restart your computer.

11.5.1.5 Executing

Use the following procedure to execute the CORBA server application .

  1. Copy the execution resource (execution file and dynamic link library) into the execution environment.

  2. Create the application operation current directory for the start of work unit.

  3. Deploy the CORBA server application.

  4. Start the work unit.

  5. Execute the client application.
