Abstract: A method of generating an interface definition language (IDL) interface involves identifying parents for the IDL interface, identifying parent interfaces associated with the parents, wherein the parent interfaces include concrete parent interfaces, computing a set of directly implemented methods for the parent interfaces, generating an implementation of the IDL interface with the concrete parent interfaces to generate a plurality of delegation fields, generating an initialization method and a setting method for each of the plurality of delegation fields, and generating indirectly implemented methods with a body that delegates functionality to one of the plurality of delegate fields.

Abstract: A method of developing server source code using portable object adapter (POA), includes generating source code representing a POA hierarchy of a server; and propagating changes made to the POA hierarchy automatically to the source code. A computer system adapted to develop server source code using portable object adapter (POA) includes a processor; a memory element, and software instructions for enabling the computer under control of the processor, to perform generation of source code representing a POA hierarchy of a server; and propagate changes made to the POA hierarchy automatically to the source code. A support module for an integrated development environment includes an editor component for writing an interface file; and a portable object adapter (POA) support component that generates source code representing a POA hierarchy of a server. Changes made to the POA hierarchy are automatically propagated to server source code.

Abstract: A method of synchronization of an interface and a class implementation in accordance with the present invention includes generating the class implementation from the provided interface onto a memory element and examining a storage device to determine whether the class implementation exists. A computer system in accordance with the present invention is adapted to synchronize an interface and a class implementation includes a processor and a memory element, including software instructions; wherein the software instructions are adapted to enable the computer under control of the processor, to perform standard synchronization of the interface and the class implementation as part of an implementation generation component of a support module for an integrated development environment.
