org.omg.CORBA
Class Any
java.lang.Object
org.omg.CORBA.Any
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable, IDLEntity
public abstract class Any - extends Object
- implements IDLEntity
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:
- a data value
- 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:
- the type of the element contained in the
Any object is not
X
- 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.

Any
public Any()
equal
public abstract boolean equal(Any a)
- Checks for equality between this
Any object and the
given Any object. Two Any objects are
equal if both their values and type codes are equal.
- Parameters:
a - the Any object to test for equality
- Returns:
true if the Any objects are equal;
false otherwise- See Also:
CORBA package
comments for unimplemented features
type
public abstract TypeCode type()
- Returns type information for the element contained in this
Any object.
- Returns:
- the
TypeCode object containing type information
about the value contained in this Any object
type
public abstract void type(TypeCode t)
- Sets this
Any object's type field
to the given TypeCode object and clears its value.
Note that using this method to set the type code wipes out the
value if there is one. The method
is provided primarily so that the type may be set properly for
IDL out parameters. Generally, setting the type
is done by the insert_X methods, which will set the type
to X if it is not already set to X.
- Parameters:
t - the TypeCode object giving
information for the value in
this Any object
read_value
public abstract void read_value(InputStream is,
TypeCode t)

the given input stream using the given typecode.
- Parameters:
is - the org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream
object from which to read
the value contained in this Any objectt - a TypeCode object containing type information
about the value to be read
- Throws:
MARSHAL - when the given TypeCode object is
not consistent with the value that was contained
in the input stream
write_value
public abstract void write_value(OutputStream os)
- Writes out the value of this
Any object
to the given output stream. If both typecode
and value need to be written, use
create_output_stream() to create an OutputStream,
then use write_any on the OutputStream.
If this method is called on an Any object that has not
had a value inserted into its value field, it will throw
the exception java.lang.NullPointerException.

object into which to marshal the value
of this Any object
