[omniORB] Interface inheritance and mutliple interfaces to a single servan

[FloConsult SPRL]

I have a problem regarding interfaces separation in CORBA using Python
(and OmniORB, but this shouldn't change anything). =

I would like to offer two interfaces on the same object, one limited and
one enhanced. But if I try to bind on the limited interface, I get the
complete one.
In the FAQ, I saw a similar problem, but I want to have only one
servant, which is accessed by different interfaces.
Could you help me ?

I have the following IDL interface:

module toto {
        interface Foo1{
                void method1();
        };
        interface Foo2 : Foo1{
                void method2();
        };
}

The implementation file in Python is:
*************************************
import toto, toto_POA
class Foo2_i(RowingClub__POA.Foo2):
        def method1(self):
                #something
        def method2(self):
                #something
  =


=3D> Foo1 and Foo2 are implemented in the same Foo2_i
On the server side, I use the POA:
**********************************
foo2Servant =3D  Foo2_i()
foo2Ref =3D foo2Servant._this()

and for the moment I publish the ior from foo2Ref.


On the client side, I bind on the limited interface
(say the ior is stored in obj):
**********************************************************
foo1Itf =3D obj._narrow(toto.Foo1)


My problem is:
*************
dir(foo1Itf) gives 'method1' and 'method2', while I would like to
prevent users of this limited interface to use 'method2'.

Thanks in advance,

Isabelle.
