[omniORB] Free object reference through ClassFactory ?

[Wilson Jimmy - jiwils]

Just looking at your example I would say that yes, you need to free the
object using the factory call, however, it all depends on what the call to
theFactory->create() does.  If on the server side of the equation, you're
allocating new space for an object, or if your doing some kind of reference
counting to a singleton, you would most likely need to call your
theFactory->destroy( theObj ) method.

Hi, Dears
If a corba client creates a corba object reference through the specified
class factory using POA, should the object reference be freed when the
client doesn't need it any more?

MyClassFactory_var		theFactory;
MyClass_var			theObj;

theObj = theFactory->create();
// do something on "theObj"

// need to free ?
theFactory->destroy( theObj );

Best Regards,
