At this interception point, Interceptors must get their service context information from the incoming request transfer it to PortableInterceptor.Current's slots.

This interception point is called before the servant manager is called. Operation parameters are not yet available at this point. This interception point may or may not execute in the same thread as the target invocation.

This interception point may throw a system exception. If it does, no other Interceptors' receive_request_service_contexts operations are called. Those Interceptors on the Flow Stack are popped and their send_exception interception points are called.

This interception point may also throw a ForwardRequest exception. If an Interceptor throws this exception, no other Interceptors' receive_request_service_contexts operations are called. Those Interceptors on the Flow Stack are popped and their send_other interception points are called.

Compliant Interceptors shall properly follow completion_status semantics if they throw a system exception from this interception point. The completion_status shall be COMPLETED_NO.

In the DSI model, since the parameters are first available when the user code calls arguments, receive_request is called from within arguments. It is possible that arguments is not called in the DSI model. The target may call set_exception before calling arguments. The ORB shall guarantee that receive_request is called once, either through arguments or through set_exception. If it is called through set_exception, requesting the arguments will result in NO_RESOURCES being thrown with a standard minor code of 1.

This interception point may throw a system exception. If it does, no other Interceptors' receive_request operations are called. Those Interceptors on the Flow Stack are popped and their send_exception interception points are called.

This interception point may also throw a ForwardRequest exception. If an Interceptor throws this exception, no other Interceptors' receive_request operations are called. Those Interceptors on the Flow Stack are popped and their send_other interception points are called.

Compliant Interceptors shall properly follow completion_status semantics if they throw a system exception from this interception point. The completion_status shall be COMPLETED_NO.

This interception point may throw a system exception. If it does, no other Interceptors' send_reply operations are called. The remaining Interceptors in the Flow Stack shall have their send_exception interception point called.

Compliant Interceptors shall properly follow completion_status semantics if they throw a system exception from this interception point. The completion_status shall be COMPLETED_YES.

This interception point may throw a system exception. This has the effect of changing the exception which successive Interceptors popped from the Flow Stack receive on their calls to send_exception. The exception thrown to the client will be the last exception thrown by an Interceptor, or the original exception if no Interceptor changes the exception.

This interception point may also throw a ForwardRequest exception. If an Interceptor throws this exception, no other Interceptors' send_exception operations are called. The remaining Interceptors in the Flow Stack shall have their send_other interception points called.

If the completion_status of the exception is not COMPLETED_NO, then it is inappropriate for this interception point to throw a ForwardRequest exception. The request's at-most-once semantics would be lost.

Compliant Interceptors shall properly follow completion_status semantics if they throw a system exception from this interception point. If the original exception is a system exception, the completion_status of the new exception shall be the same as on the original. If the original exception is a user exception, then the completion_status of the new exception shall be COMPLETED_YES.
