A CORBA synchronization mode, defining how far the request shall
progress before control is returned to the client for one way
operations (when no response is required). OMG specification
defines the following modes:
-
SYNC_NONE (0) - The ORB returns control before sending the request message.
-
SYNC_WITH_TRANSPORT (1) - The ORB returns control to the client only after the
transport has accepted the request message.
-
SYNC_WITH_SERVER (2) - The ORB waits for the reply message from the
server side ORB.
-
SYNC_WITH_TARGET (3) is equivalent for the synchronous, no one
way operations. It is the most realiable, also the slowest one.
The java API specification up till 1.4 inclusive defines only one
constant, SYNC_WITH_TRANSPORT.
