[omniORB] Meaning of exceptions.

[Igor Lautar]

Hi,

COMPLETED_YES means call got to server and exception occurred after call was 
executed.

COMPLETED_NO means call never got to server, or if it got there, it did not 
have any sideeffects (like actually invoking call).

COMPLETED_MAYBE means actual state cannot be determined.

There is a great resource for CORBA programming, 'Advanced CORBA Programming 
with C++' by Michi Henning and Steve Vinoski. You can find answers to these 
(and much more) questions in it. I would say its a mandatory read if you want 
to get serious with CORBA...

Regards,
