Implementing The Servant (Cont.)


    // randomally return a boolean result.
    virtual CORBA::Boolean isTheWorldSafe();

    // prints out the given prompt, reads a message
    // from standard input, and returns that to the
    // caller. the function's return value is the
    // length of the returned string.
    virtual CORBA::Long readMessage(const char* prompt,
                                    CORBA::String_out message);

  private:
    PortableServer::POA_var myPoa;
};

Note that we supply the servant with a pointer to its POA during its creation.  This is not mandatory, but might help implement various operations in a real application.
