org.omg.CORBA Documentation Differences

This file contains all the changes in documentation in the package org.omg.CORBA as colored differences. Deletions are shown like this, and additions are shown like this.
If no deletions or additions are shown in an entry, the HTML tags will be what has changed. The new HTML tags are shown in the differences. If no documentation existed, and then some was added in a later version, this change is noted in the appropriate class pages of differences, but the change is not shown on this page. Only changes in existing text are shown here. Similarly, documentation which was inherited from another class or interface is not shown here.
Note that an HTML error in the new documentation may cause the display of other documentation changes to be presented incorrectly. For instance, failure to close a <code> tag will cause all subsequent paragraphs to be displayed differently.
Class ARG_OUT

SignifiesA constant that signifies an "output" argument to an invocation meaning that the argument is being passed from the server to the client. ARG_OUT.value is one of the possible values used to indicate the direction in which a parameter is being passed during a dynamic invocation using the Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII).

The code fragment below shows a typical usage: 

 ORB orb = ORB.init(args null); org.omg.CORBA.NamedValue nv = orb.create_named_value( "argumentIdentifier" myAny org.omg.CORBA.ARG_OUT.value);
@version 1.5 09/09/97 @see org.omg.CORBA.NamedValue @since JDK1.2
Class Any

Serves as a container for any data that can be described in IDL or for any IDL primitive type. An Any object is used as a component of a NamedValue object which provides information about arguments or return values in requests and which is used to define name/value pairs in Context objects.

An Any object consists of two parts:

  1. a data value
  2. a TypeCode object describing the type of the data value contained in the Any object. For example a TypeCode object for an array contains a field for the length of the array and a field for the type of elements in the array. (Note that in this case the second field of the TypeCode object is itself a TypeCode object.)

A large part of the Any class consists of pairs of methods for inserting values into and extracting values from an Any object.

For a given primitive type X these methods are:

void insert_X(X x)
This method allows the insertion of an instance x of primitive type X into the value field of the Any object. Note that the method insert_X also resets the Any object's type field if necessary.
X extract_X()
This method allows the extraction of an instance of type X from the Any object.

This method throws the exception BAD_OPERATION under two conditions:

  1. the type of the element contained in the Any object is not X
  2. the method extract_X is called before the value field of the Any object has been set

There are distinct method pairs for each primitive IDL data type (insert_long and extract_long insert_string and extract_string and so on).

The class Any also has methods for getting and setting the type code for testing two Any objects for equality and for reading an Any object from a stream or writing it to a stream.

Class Context, NVList get_values(String, int, String)

Retrieves the NamedValue objects whose name field matches the given name or name pattern. This method allows for wildcard searches which means that there can be multiple matches and therefore multiple values returned. If the property is not found at the indicated level the search continues up the context object tree until a match is found or all Context objects in the chain have been exhausted.

If no match is found an error is returned and no property list is returned. @param start_scope a String object indicating the context object level at which to initiate the search for the specified properties (for example "_USER" "_GROUP" "_SYSTEM"). Valid scope names are implementation-specific. If a scope name is omitted the search begins with the specified context object. If the specified scope name is not found an exception is returned. @param op_flags an operation flag. The one flag that may be specified is CTX_RESTRICT_SCOPE. If this flag is specified searching is limited to the specified start_scope or this Context object. @param pattern the property name whose values are to be retrieved. pattern may be a name or a name with a trailing wildcard character ("*"). @return an NVList containing all the property values (in the form of NamedValue objects) whose associated property name matches the given name or name pattern @see org.omg.CORBA.NamedValue

Class Context, void set_values(NVList)

I Sets one or more property values in this Context object. The NVList supplied to this method contains one or more NamedValue objects. In each NamedValue object the name field holds the name of the property and the flags field must be set to zero. The NamedValue object's value field contains an Any object which in turn contains the value for the property. Since the value is always a string the Any object must have the kind field of its TypeCode set to TCKind.tk_string. @param values an NVList containing the property names and associated values to be set @see org.omg.CORBA.NamedValue @see org.omg.CORBA.Any
Class Current

An interface that makes it possible to access information associated with a particular thread of execution such as security information or a transaction identifier. An ORB or CORBA service that needs its own thread-specific state extends the org/omg/CORBA package's /Current. Users of the service can obtain an instance of the appropriate Currentjava interfaceGenerated by invoking ORB.resolve_initial_references. For example the Security service obtains the Current relevant IDL-to it by invoking-Java compiler ORB.resolve_initial_references("SecurityCurrent"portable); A CORBA service does not have to useversion this method of keeping context but may choose to do so"3. Methods on classes that implement from Current access state associated with the thread in which they are invoked not state associated with the thread0" from which the Current was obtained. Current objects must not be exported to other processes or externalized with ORB.object_to_string/. If any attempt is made to do so the offending operation will raise a MARSHAL system exception./../../../src/share/classes/org/omg/PortableServer/corba.idl @seeSaturday portableJuly package comments17 1999 for12:26:21 unimplementedAM featuresPDT.

Class DynAny

An object that enables the dynamic management of Any valuesorg. A DynAny object allows a program to use an Any object when the program has no static information about the type of the Any objectomg. The DynAny interface provides methods for traversing the data value associated with an CORBA.Any object at run time and for extracting thevalues can be dynamically interpreted primitive(traversed) constituents of the data valueand constructed through DynAny objects. A DynAny object is associated with a data value thatwhich may correspond to a copy of the value inserted into an Any object. The DynAny object may be seen as owning a pointer to an external buffer that holds some representation of the data value. For data values that are constructed types (IDL struct sequence array union and so on) the DynAny object also can be thought of as holding a pointer to a buffer offset where the current component of the constructed type is being represented. The buffer pointer effectively points to theAPIs space usedenable traversal to represent the first component of the data value when the programmer creates the DynAny object. Calling the DynAny method next will move the pointer to the next component making it possible to iterate through the components of a constructed data value. The buffer pointer is moved back to the first component each time the method rewind is called. DynAny methods make it possible to do the following: Obtain the type code associated with a DynAny object Initialize a DynAny object from another DynAny object Initialize a DynAny object from an Any value Generate an Any value from a DynAny object Destroy a DynAny object Create a copy of a DynAny object Access a value of some basic type in a DynAny object Iterate through components of a DynAny object Inserting a basic data type value into a constructed DynAny object implies initializing the next component of the constructed data value associated with the DynAny object. For example invoking the method insert_boolean in a DynStruct implies inserting a boolean data value as the next member of the associated struct data value. Creating a DynAny object can be done by: invoking a method on an existing DynAny object invoking an org.omg.CORBA.ORB methodat (create_dyn_any create_dyn_struct create_dyn_sequenceruntime and so on) Dynamic creation of an Any object containing a value of a basic data type typically involves the following: Creating a DynAny object using ORB.create_basic_dyn_any passing it the type code associated with the basic data type value to be created Initializing the value by means of invoking methods on the resulting DynAny object (insert_boolean if the DynAny isextraction of type boolean for example) Creating the Any object by invoking the method to_any on the initialized DynAny object Dynamic creation of an Any object containing aprimitive valueconstituents of a constructed data type typically involves the following: Creating a DynAny object using the appropriate ORB method (for example ORB.create_dyn_struct for an IDL struct) passing it the type code associated with the constructed data type value to be created Initializing components of the value by means of: invoking methods on the resulting DynStruct (or other constructed type) object call the method current_component to get a DynAny object for that component call the appropriate insert method on the DynAny object returned by the method current_component to initialize the component call the method next to move to the next component and continue to get the current component initialize it and move to the next component until there are no more components (the method next returns false) or invoking methods on the DynAny objects generated for each member of the constructed type Creating the Any object by invoking the method to_any on the initialized DynAny object DynAny objects are intended to be local to the process in which they are created and used. Any method that attempts to export references to DynAny objects to other processes or to externalize them with the method org.omg.CORBA.ORB.object_to_string will throw a MARSHAL exception. Also even though DynAny objects are derived from the interface Object invoking methods from Object will throw the NO_IMPLEMENT exception. An attempt to use a DynAny object with the DII (Dynamic Invocation Interface) may throw a NO_IMPLEMENT exception. The following classes are derived from DynAny and define additional methods relevant to their particular IDL type: DynFixed DynStruct DynSequence DynArray DynUnion DynEnum DynAny and DynValue.

Class ORB, void connect(Object)

Connects the given servant object (a Java object that is an instance of the server implementation class) to the ORB. The servant class must extend the ImplBase class corresponding to the interface that is supported by the server. The servant must thus be a CORBA object reference and inherit from org.omg.CORBA.Object. Servants created by the user can start receiving remote invocations after the method connect has been called. A servant may also be automatically and implicitly connected to the ORB if it is passed as an IDL parameter in an IDL method invocation on a non-local object that is if the servant object has to be marshalled and sent outside of the process address space.

Calling the method connect has no effect when the servant object is already connected to the ORB.

Class ORB, TypeCode create_recursive_tc(String)

Create a recursive TypeCode object which serves as a placeholder for a concrete TypeCode during the process of creating TypeCodes which contain recursion. The id parameter specifies the repository id of the type for which the recursive TypeCode is serving as a placeholder. Once the recursive TypeCode has been properly embedded in the enclosing TypeCode which corresponds to the specified repository id it will function as a normal TypeCode. Invoking operations on the recursive TypeCode before it has been embedded in the enclosing TypeCode will result in undefined behavior.

For example the following IDL type declarations contain recursion: 

 Struct Foo { long value; Sequence <Foo> Chain; }; Struct Bar { public Bar member; };

To create a TypeCode for struct Bar you would invoke the TypeCode creation operations as shown below: 

 String barID = "IDL:Bar:1.0"; TypeCode recursiveTC = orb.create_recursive_tc(barID); StructMember[] members = { new StructMember("member" recursiveTC null) }; TypeCode structBarTC = orb.create_struct_tc(barID "Bar" members);
@param id the logical id of the referenced type. @return the requested TypeCode. @see CORBA package comments for unimplemented features
Class ORB, TypeCode create_string_tc(int)

Class ORB, TypeCode create_wstring_tc(int)

Creates a TypeCode object representing a bounded IDL wstring (wide string). The TypeCode object is initialized with the given bound which represents the maximum length of the wide string. Zero indicates that the string described by this type code is unbounded. @param bound the bound for the wstring; cannot be zeronegative @return a newly-created TypeCode object describing a bounded IDL wstring @exception BAD_PARAM if zerobound is supplied as a parameternegative value
Class ORB, void disconnect(Object)

Disconnects the given servant object from the ORB. After this method returns the ORB will reject incoming remote requests for the disconnected servant and will send the exception org.omg.CORBA.OBJECT_NOT_EXIST back to the remote client. Thus the object appears to be destroyed from the point of view of remote clients. Note however that local requests issued using the servant directly do not pass through the ORB; hence they will continue to be processed by the servant.

Calling the method disconnect has no effect if the servant is not connected to the ORB.

Deprecated by the OMG in favor of the Portable Object Adapter APIs. @param obj The servant object to be disconnected from the ORB @see CORBA package comments for unimplemented features

Class ORB, Current get_current()

Retrieves a Current object.

Class ORB, void shutdown(boolean)

Instructs the ORB to shut down which causes all object adapters to shut down. If the wait_for_completion parameter is true this operation blocks until all ORB processing (including processing of currently executing requests object deactivation and other object adapter operations) has completed. The ORB.run method will return after shutdown has been called. @param wait_for_completion true to indicate that the ORB should complete processing before shutting down; false to indicate that the ORB should shut down immediately @see CORBA package comments for unimplemented features
Class ORB, boolean work_pending()

Returns true if the ORB needs the main thread to perform some work and false if the ORB does not need the main thread. @return true if there is work pending meaning that the ORB needs the main thread to perform some work; false if there is no work pending and thus the ORB does not need the main thread @see CORBA package comments for unimplemented features
Class Object, DomainManager[] _get_domain_managers()

Retrieves the DomainManagers of this object. This allows administration services (and applications) to retrieve the domain managers and hence the security and other policies applicable to individual objects that are members of the domain. @return Thethe list of immediately enclosing domain managers of this object. At least one domain manager is always returned in the list since by default each object is associated with at least one domain manager at creation.

Class SetOverrideType, SetOverrideType SET_OVERRIDE

The SetOverrideType constant for the enum value SET_OVERRIDE.
Class TypeCode

A container for information about a specific CORBA data type.

TypeCode objects are used:

The representation of a TypeCode object is opaque but abstractly a TypeCode object consists of:

TypeCode objects can be obtained in various ways:
  1. from a call to the method Any.insert_X where X is a basic IDL type. This method creates a TypeCode object for type X and assigns it to the Any object's type field.
  2. from invocations of methods in the ORB class

    For example the following creates a TypeCode object for a string with a maximum of 30 characters: 

     org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode tcString = orb.create_string_tc(30);

    The following creates a TypeCode object for an array of five strings: 

     org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode tcArray = orb.create_array_tc( 5 TCKind.tk_string);

    The following creates a TypeCode object for an interface named "Account": 

     org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode tcInterface = orb.create_interface_tc( "thisId" "Account");
  3. as the return value from the _type method in Holder classes for user-defined IDL types. These Holder classes are generated by the idltojava compiler.
  4. from a CORBA Interface Repository

Most of the methods in the class TypeCode are accessors and the information contained in a TypeCode object is specific to a particular type. Therefore methods must be invoked only on the kind of type codes to which they apply. If an accessor method tries to access information from an inappropriate kind of type code it will throw the exception TypeCodePackage.BadKind. For example if the method discriminator_type is called on anything other than a union it will throw BadKind because only unions have a discriminator. The following list shows which methods apply to which kinds of type codes:

These methods may be invoked on all TypeCode kinds:

These methods may be invoked on objref struct union enum alias exception value value_box native and abstract_interface:

These methods may be invoked on struct union enum and exception:

These methods may be invoked on struct union and exception:

These methods may be invoked on union:

These methods may be invoked on string sequence and array:

These methods may be invoked on alias sequence array and value_box:

Unlike other CORBA pseudo-objects TypeCode objects can be passed as general IDL parameters.

The methods parameter and param_count which are deprecated are not mapped.

Java IDL extends the CORBA specification to allow all operations permitted on a struct TypeCode to be permitted on an exception TypeCode as well.
