Class AnySeqHelper

public abstract class AnySeqHelper extends Object

Provides static helper methods for working with the array of the type Any (not with the "any array").
Method Summary
static Any[]extract(Any a)
Extract the array of Any's from the given Any.
static Stringid()
Returns the agreed Id, delegating functionality to the type.id().
static voidinsert(Any into, Any[] that)
Insert into the given Any[] into the given Any.
static Any[]read(InputStream input)
Reads the Any[] from the CORBA input stream.
static TypeCodetype()
Creates and returns a new instance of the TypeCode, corresponding the array of Any's.
static voidwrite(OutputStream output, Any[] value)
Writes the array of Any's into the given stream.

Method Detail

extract

public static Any[] extract(Any a)
Extract the array of Any's from the given Any. This implementation expects the Any to hold the instance of AnySeqHolder that is returned by .

Parameters: a an Any to extract the array from.

Returns: the extracted array.

Throws: ClassCastException if the Any contains something other than the the AnySeqHolder.

id

public static String id()
Returns the agreed Id, delegating functionality to the type.id().

insert

public static void insert(Any into, Any[] that)
Insert into the given Any[] into the given Any. This implementation first creates a AnySeqHolder and then calls insert_Streamable.

Parameters: into the target Any. that the array to insert.

read

public static Any[] read(InputStream input)
Reads the Any[] from the CORBA input stream. This implementation first creates an instance of AnySeqHolder and then delegates functionality to its _read() method.

Parameters: input the CORBA (not java.io) stream to read from.

Returns: the value from the stream.

type

public static TypeCode type()
Creates and returns a new instance of the TypeCode, corresponding the array of Any's. The length of the sequence is left with the initial value 0.

write

public static void write(OutputStream output, Any[] value)
Writes the array of Any's into the given stream.

Parameters: output the CORBA (not java.io) output stream to write. value the value that must be written.
