[52.1] WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PERSISTENT OBJECT SERVICE?

Don’t ask.

Really, the Persistent Object Service was designed to provide two things:

• A database like access to CORBA objects. This provided CORBA clients with IDL control interfaces to a CORBA object’s underlying storage.
• A means for CORBA objects to uniformly save their state into a database. This was an internal API for implementation objects (the objects that really have the state) to save their data into a database.

The Persistent Object Service was not widely received and potentially never implemented by any vendor. As a specification, it has been retracted. The Persistant State Service (PSS) superceedes the POS.
