Systems, methods, and language for SCA CORBA descriptor files

摘要

A preparser tool is provided for converting Software Communications Architecture (SCA) Extensible Markup Language (XML) files into Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) structures usable by an SCA Core Framework (CF) and comprises a CF_PreParsers interface definition language (IDL) and a first preparser. The CF_IDL is configured to be in operable communication with an XML parser and with at least a first type of preparser. The first type of preparser is in operable communication with the CF_PreParsers IDL, is associated with a first type of descriptor for the CF, and is configured to call the XML parser to request parsing of a first set of first XML files, convert the first parsed set of first XML files into a first CORBA structure type, encode the first CORBA structure type into a first CORBA Common Data Representation (CDR) file; and write the first CORBA CDR file as a first octet sequence.
