Chapter 15 Working with IDL

Designing for IDL

IDL stands for Interface Definition Language. It was defined for the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) to enable client/server object interaction.

The IDL language is independent from the platform you are working on. In this manual, we refer to version 2.4 of the IDL-CORBA specification, and we support the concepts defined in the UML Profile for CORBA Specification from the Object Management Group (OMG).

This section explains how to design IDL objects in the PowerDesigner Object Oriented Model.
