Is there an API which can be used to retrieve client connection information from a CORBA request?
Resolution
Yes. The method is "VIS_EXT::get_client_info" and the declaration can be found at "vext.h".
Here is the sample code snippet on how to use it.
Modify "BankImpl.h" in the "basic/bank_agent" example.
#include "vext.h"
. . . . . .
CORBA::float balance() {
VIS_EXT::ConnectionInfo *ci = VIS_EXT::get_client_info(NULL);
const char* client_host = ci->hostname.in();
CORBA::UShort client_port = ci->port;
cout << "Client Host:" << client_host << endl;
cout << "Client Port:" << client_port << endl;
cout << * ci << endl;
}
Note that the server must be in invocation thread to get any information. The argument is not used in querying the client, so it can be NULL.
