Hi Kujtim, "Servant" is the code which implements an interface. The term is defined by the CORBA spec, and there is even a native servant reference type defined in IDL somewhere. "Server" is not defined by the CORBA spec as far as I recall, however it commonly refers to a process containing one or more servant instances, is listening on an endpoint, etc. Does that help? -Phil On Fri, Feb 16, 2018 at 4:36 AM, Kujtim Hyseni <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > during reading JacORB/CORBA documentation we face terms "server" and > "servant".
