duke@1 29 * An object containing the information necessary for

duke@1 31 * the cornerstone of the ORB Dynamic
duke@1 32 * Invocation Interface (DII), which allows dynamic creation and
duke@1 33 * invocation of requests.
duke@1 34 * A server cannot tell the difference between a client
duke@1 35 * invocation using a client stub and a request using the DII.
duke@1 36 * <P>
duke@1 37 * A <code>Request</code> object consists of:
duke@1 38 * <UL>
duke@1 39 * <LI>the name of the operation to be invoked
duke@1 40 * <LI>an <code>NVList</code> containing arguments for the operation.<BR>
duke@1 41 * Each item in the list is a <code>NamedValue</code> object, which has three
duke@1 42 * parts:
duke@1 43 * <OL>
duke@1 44 * <LI>the name of the argument
duke@1 45 * <LI>the value of the argument (as an <code>Any</code> object)
duke@1 46 * <LI>the argument mode flag indicating whether the argument is
duke@1 47 * for input, output, or both
duke@1 48 * </OL>
duke@1 49 * </UL>
duke@1 50 * <P>
duke@1 51 * <code>Request</code> objects may also contain additional information,
duke@1 52 * depending on how an operation was defined in the original IDL
duke@1 53 * interface definition. For example, where appropriate, they may contain
duke@1 54 * a <code>NamedValue</code> object to hold the return value or exception,
duke@1 55 * a context, a list of possible exceptions, and a list of
duke@1 56 * context strings that need to be resolved.

duke@1 59 * <code>create_request</code> methods in the <code>Object</code> class.
