Component Implementation Definition Language (CIDL)

To support all the new features, the CCM extends the CORBA Interface Definition Language (CIDL) to the point that it "introduces a new declaration language." CIDL, like IDL, relieves developers from having to provide much of the "plumbing" needed to include components within a container. CIDL is a superset of the Persistent State Definition Language (PSDL), which itself is a superset of IDL.
