'Instance' Data for Server-Side Objects

["Adam Buckley" <adambuckley gmx net>]

Hi Gurus,

How do I set 'instance' data for server-side object instances?


Ie, in server.c, I'd like to do something like this:

	// Normal creation from echo-skelimpl.c
	Echo echoServerObj1 = impl_Echo__create(poa, &env);
	Echo echoServerObj2 = impl_Echo__create(poa, &env);

	// Can I do this?
	echoServerObj1->something->specialNumber = 1;
	echoServerObj2->something->specialNumber = 2;

	// Then bind echoServerObj's with unique names etc...



And in the implementation, I'd like to do something like this:

	static void impl_Echo_echoString(impl_POA_Echo *servant,
		CORBA_char *msg, CORBA_Environment *env)
	{
		// Can I do this?
		int servantNumber = servant->something->specialNumber;

		printf("servant %d says: %s\n", servantNumber, msg);
		return;
	}



Could anyone demonstrate how to do it?  Or point me to some documentation?
This is one time when object-orientated programming would come in handy...
:o)


Many thanks in advance,

- Adam.
