<P><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a question about explicit object activation with a child poa.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am using activate_object() on this poa to activate the servant and then _this() on the servant to get the object reference.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I understand that using _this() implicity leads to ambiguity with which poa is being used as it always goes to the root poa.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">However, seeing that the servant has been activated with the child poa, I am assuming this is not an issue. What I don’t understand is how does it know to go to the child poa to find the object details? Does it search through all the active object maps? Does it even need to go back to the poa to get the reference? Or is it actually going to the root poa? If it’s the latter then how can it find the object details?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I basically need to know this as I want to make sure my object will acting according to the policies in the child poa.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Many thanks in advance</FONT></SPAN>
