Chapter 11. Objects by Value

The CORBA objects by value specification enables you to define objects that can be passed by value when transmitted as a parameter or return value of an operation. The value objects can have an associated state and behavior, which is declared in IDL.

Pass by value semantics are most useful between tightly integrated applications that are written in the same language. Because sender and receiver must both provide an implementation of every transmitted value type, it is generally not practical to transmit value types across a language barrier.

This chapter provides a basic introduction to programming with value types.
