Description

The idltowsdl tool currently does not support IDL interface inheritance.

An IDL interface declaration that has an interface inheritance specification will result in a spurious operation named ":".

Support for IDL interface inheritance needs to be added to the IDL interface visitor.

The syntax for inheritance is as follows:

(10) <interface_inheritance_spec>::=":" <interface_name>

{ "," <interface_name> }

*
(11) <interface_name> ::= <scoped_name>
(12) <scoped_name> ::= <identifier> | "::" <identifier> | <scoped_name> "::" <identifier>

Each <scoped_name> in an <interface_inheritance_spec> must denote a previously defined interface.

See Section 3.7.5, "Interface Inheritance," on page 3-19 of the CORBA spec for the description of inheritance.
