SIDL Files
</H1>
<P>
SIDL files are human-readable, language- and platform- independent
interface specifications for objects and their methods. SIDL allows
you to specify classes, interfaces, and the methods therein. All
methods defined in SIDL are public, since the developer is writing
them as part of an interface description. Any data you wish a SIDL
object to hold is not declared in the SIDL file, and is private.<A NAME="1847"></A> Data
should be placed in the implementation skeleton files, and cannot be
publicly exported.
<P>
Babel reads the SIDL files to generate the appropriate programming language
bindings. These bindings, in the form of stub, intermediate object
representation (IOR), and implementation skeleton sources, provide the basis
for language interoperable software using Babel. In addition, SIDL files
are used to populate the XML symbol repository that can serve as an
alternate source of interface specifications during the generation of
programming language bindings.
