|
|
34 |
*<P>
|
|
35 |
* <code>TypeCode</code> objects are used:
|
|
36 |
* <UL>
|
|
37 |
* <LI>in the Dynamic Invocation Interface -- to indicate the types
|
|
38 |
* of the actual arguments or the type of the return value. <BR>
|
|
39 |
* <code>NamedValue</code> objects are used to represent arguments and
|
|
40 |
* return values. One of their components is an <code>Any</code>
|
|
41 |
* object, which in turn has as one of its components a
|
|
42 |
* <code>TypeCode</code> object.
|
|
43 |
* <LI>by an Interface Repository to represent the type specifications
|
|
44 |
* that are part of many OMG IDL declarations
|
|
45 |
* </UL>
|
|
46 |
* <P>
|
|
47 |
* The representation of a <code>TypeCode</code> object is opaque,
|
|
48 |
* but abstractly, a <code>TypeCode</code> object consists of:
|
|
49 |
* <UL>
|
|
50 |
* <LI>a <code>kind</code> field, which is set to an instance
|
|
51 |
* of the class <code>TCKind</code>
|
|
52 |
* <LI>zero or more additional fields appropriate
|
|
53 |
* for the particular kind. For example, the
|
|
54 |
* <code>TypeCode</code> object
|
|
55 |
* describing the OMG IDL type <code>1ong</code> has kind
|
|
56 |
* <code>TCKind.tk_long</code> and no additional fields.
|
|
57 |
* The <code>TypeCode</code> describing OMG IDL type
|
|
58 |
* <code>sequence<boolean, 10></code> has a <code>kind</code> field
|
|
59 |
* with the value
|
|
60 |
* <code>TCKind.tk_sequence</code> and also fields with the values
|
|
61 |
* <code>boolean</code> and <code>10</code> for the
|
|
62 |
* type of sequence elements and the length of the sequence. <p>
|
|
63 |
* </UL>
|
|
64 |
*
|
|
65 |
* <code>TypeCode</code> objects can be obtained in various ways:
|
|
66 |
* <OL>
|
|
67 |
* <LI>from a call to the method <code>Any.insert_X</code>, where X is
|
|
68 |
* a basic IDL type. This method creates a <code>TypeCode</code> object
|
|
69 |
* for type X and assigns it to the <code>Any</code> object's
|
|
70 |
* <code>type</code> field.
|
|
71 |
* <LI>from invocations of methods in the ORB class
|
|
72 |
* <P>For example, the following creates a <code>TypeCode</code>
|
|
73 |
* object for a <code>string</code> with a maximum of 30 characters:
|
|
74 |
* <PRE>
|
|
75 |
* org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode tcString = orb.create_string_tc(30);
|
|
76 |
* </PRE>
|
|
77 |
* <P> The following creates a <code>TypeCode</code>
|
|
78 |
* object for an <code>array</code> of five <code>string</code>s:
|
|
79 |
* <PRE>
|
|
80 |
* org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode tcArray = orb.create_array_tc(
|
|
81 |
* 5, TCKind.tk_string);
|
|
82 |
* </PRE>
|
|
83 |
* <P> The following creates a <code>TypeCode</code>
|
|
84 |
* object for an interface named "Account":
|
|
85 |
* <PRE>
|
|
86 |
* org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode tcInterface = orb.create_interface_tc(
|
|
87 |
* "thisId", "Account");
|
|
88 |
* </PRE>
|
|
89 |
* <LI>as the return value from the <code>_type</code> method
|
|
90 |
* in <code>Holder</code> classes for user-defined
|
|
91 |
* IDL types. These <code>Holder</code> classes are generated
|
|
92 |
* by the <code>idltojava</code> compiler.
|
|
93 |
* <LI>from a CORBA Interface Repository
|
|
94 |
* </OL>
|
|
95 |
* <P>
|
|
96 |
* Most of the methods in the class <code>TypeCode</code>
|
|
97 |
* are accessors, and the information contained in a <code>TypeCode</code>
|
|
98 |
* object is specific to a particular type. Therefore, methods
|
|
99 |
* must be invoked
|
|
100 |
* only on the kind of type codes to which they apply. If an
|
|
101 |
* accessor method
|
|
102 |
* tries to access information from an inappropriate kind of
|
|
103 |
* type code, it will throw
|
|
104 |
* the exception <code>TypeCodePackage.BadKind</code>. For example,
|
|
105 |
* if the method <code>discriminator_type</code> is called on anything
|
|
106 |
* other than a <code>union</code>, it will throw <code>BadKind</code>
|
|
107 |
* because only <code>union</code>s have a discriminator.
