This is a simple test showing that Interface inheritance
is supported by the Interface Repository.

 --- The test should output: ---
operation InterfaceRoot::get_root
operation InterfaceRoot::get_all_roots
attribute InterfaceRoot::root_attr1
attribute InterfaceRoot::root_attr2
attribute InterfaceRoot::root_attr3
operation SubInterface::get_root
operation SubInterface::get_all_roots
operation SubInterface::set_sub
operation SubInterface::get_all_subs
attribute SubInterface::root_attr1
attribute SubInterface::root_attr2
attribute SubInterface::root_attr3
attribute SubInterface::sub_attr1
attribute SubInterface::sub_attr2

Thanks to Bryan Cassell <BryanCassell@iti-team.com> for identifying
problem and providing non-automated test code.


To build this test, the TAO library, the TypeCodeFactory
library, the Interface Repository (the last two found in
TAO/orbsvcs/IFR_Service), and these test files must all be built. 
In addition, the Interface Repository requires the TAO_Svc_Utils 
library in TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs.

To run this test, either use the Perl script run_test.pl, or



(Windows)
start the Interface Repository by typing 

 ..\..\..\IFR_Service\IFR_Service

in one window, then (in another window)

REM may need this to avoid error finding CL.EXE
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\vcvars32.bat"

%ACE_ROOT%\bin\tao_ifr IFR_Inheritance_Test.idl -ORBInitRef InterfaceRepository=file://if_repo.ior

and then

 IFR_Inheritance_Test -ORBInitRef InterfaceRepository=file://if_repo.ior

(Unix)
in this directory, type 

 ../../../IFR_Service/IFR_Service &

then

%TAO_ROOT%/orbsvcs/IFR_Service/tao_ifr IFR_Inheritance_Test.idl -ORBInitRef InterfaceRepository=file://if_repo.ior

and then
 ./IFR_Inheritance_Test  -ORBInitRef InterfaceRepository=file://if_repo.ior



You may use IP multicast discovery by starting the server with "-m 1"
and use the default multicast address for the InterfaceRepository.

 ../../../IFR_Service/IFR_Service -m 1

and 

 ./IFR_Inheritance_Test
