Class TypeCode

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, IDLEntity

    public abstract class TypeCode
    extends Object
    implements IDLEntity
    A container for information about a specific CORBA data type.

    TypeCode objects are used:

    • in the Dynamic Invocation Interface -- to indicate the types of the actual arguments or the type of the return value.
      NamedValue objects are used to represent arguments and return values. One of their components is an Any object, which in turn has as one of its components a TypeCode object.
    • by an Interface Repository to represent the type specifications that are part of many OMG IDL declarations

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

    • a kind field, which is set to an instance of the class TCKind
    • zero or more additional fields appropriate for the particular kind. For example, the TypeCode object describing the OMG IDL type 1ong has kind TCKind.tk_long and no additional fields. The TypeCode describing OMG IDL type sequence<boolean, 10> has a kind field with the value TCKind.tk_sequence and also fields with the values boolean and 10 for the type of sequence elements and the length of the sequence.

    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:

    • equal
    • kind

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

    • id
    • name

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

    • member_count
    • member_name

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

    • member_type(int index)

    These methods may be invoked on union:

    • member_label
    • discriminator_type
    • default_index

    These methods may be invoked on string, sequence, and array:

    • length

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

    • content_type

    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.

      • kind
        public abstract TCKind kind()
        Retrieves the kind of this TypeCode object. The kind of a type code determines which TypeCode methods may legally be invoked on it.

        The method kind may be invoked on any TypeCode object.

        Returns:
        the TCKind instance indicating the value of the kind field of this TypeCode object

        The method id can be invoked on object reference, structure, union, enumeration, alias, exception, valuetype, boxed valuetype, native, and abstract interface type codes. Object reference, exception, valuetype, boxed valuetype, native, and abstract interface TypeCode objects always have a RepositoryId. Structure, union, enumeration, and alias TypeCode objects obtained from the Interface Repository or the method ORB.create_operation_list also always have a RepositoryId. If there is no RepositoryId, the method can return an empty string.

        Returns:

        Returns the scale of the fixed type described by this TypeCode object. A positive number indicates the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. For example, the number 3000d could have the typecode fixed<4,0>, where the first number is the precision and the second number is the scale. A negative number is also possible and adds zeroes to the left of the decimal point. In this case, fixed<1,-3>, could be the typecode for the number 3000d.
