1369.0. "bank3c.c or example guide in error" by EMNTAL::STADELMANN (Sepp @ZUO 760-2609) Fri Feb 14 1997 09:12

    Documentation Bug
    
    Client:
    obb 2.7-11 cld Windows NT 4.0 Server (serv pack 2 new applied) 
    
    Server:
    obb 2.7-11 cld OpenVMS/AXP
    
    obb 2.6 manuals Guide to Examples, page 4-5, states
    
    # obbreg -O -f account.obr BankAcctFactory
    
    and the paragraph above under a. mentions it as well that
    BankAcctFactory must be specified when registring account.obr with care
    
    Doing so will not lead to success when starting the bank3c.c Client on
    a Windows NT System.
    
    Reason: the example 3 code for bank3c.c or the docu is in error
    
    the call to
    
    get_initial_obj_ref ("BankAccount",
    			 ACCT_OBJ_REF_FILE,
    			 &accountObj);
    
    mentions "BankAccount" and not "BankAcctFactory"
    and this leads to a CosNaming_NamingContext_resolve failed error, which
    is OK.
    
    Please correct the documentation or the example code as this is used by
    novice developers.

    re: Note 1369.0 by EMNTAL::STADELMANN
    
    And in a subsequent paragraph, the object name is referred to as 
    "BankFactory". 
    
    It's a good thing ObjectBroker has been sold. Maybe now it'll get the
    technical writing resources it deserves.
