Sometimes clients need to be built before their server interfaces are defined They need to defer request definition until they are executed These are dynamic requests Examples: Object browser Generic bridges Scripting language interpreter Motivating Example: Object Browser Motivating Example: Generic Bridge Generic and request-level bridge Commonalities Discovery of type information at run-time Use of type information to build client objects that can cope with any type of server objects Definition of object requests at run-time Requires two primitives from middleware: Dynamic invocation interfaces Reflection mechanisms Dynamic Invocation Dynamic Requests: Principles Any object request has to identify server object operation name actual parameters data structure for operation result In Dynamic Requests: server object identified by object reference operation name identified by string actual parameters as list of name/value pairs operation result determined by an address Dynamic Requests in CORBA Dynamic Requests in CORBA Dynamic invocation interface (DII) supports dynamic creation of requests. Requests are objects themselves. Request objects have attributes for operation name, parameters and results. Request objects have operations to change operation parameters, issue the request and obtain the request results.
