7.4 The role of spec files in IDL compilation

7.4.4 Client keywords for CORBA spec files

To indicate that the CORBA project is a client of the service described by the IDL file, use the keyword Stubs: with the value yes. This ensures that Scepter compiler generates a client stubs project from the IDL source. The client stubs project is automatically made a subproject of the CORBA project.

Stubs: yes

Sometimes, the CORBA client also needs to use the server skeletons code generated from the IDL source; for example, where the IDL defines a callback interface which the client must implement. In this case, you should also include the Skeletons: keyword in the spec file with the value yes.

Stubs: yes
Skeletons: yes
