The Basic Object Adapter (BOA) is the only object adapter specified by CORBA 2. One of its main features is the ability to activate object implementations when their service is requested by a client. Using the implementation repository the BOA decides how an object implementation has to be activated.
To fulfill these requirements of the CORBA 2 specification the BOA is
implemented partially by a library (libmico2.2.3.a) and
partially by a separate program (micod
) called the BOA daemon.
