public abstract class ObjectImpl

extends Object

implements Object

The common base class for all stub classes; provides default implementations of the org.omg.CORBA.Object methods. All method implementations are forwarded to a Delegate object stored in the ObjectImpl instance. ObjectImpl allows for portable stubs because the Delegate can be implemented by a different vendor-specific ORB.

Returns:

an Object with the given policies replacing or added to its previous policies

_is_local

public boolean _is_local()

Checks whether this ObjectImpl object is implemented by a local servant. If so, local invocation API's may be used.

Returns:

true if this object is implemented by a local servant; false otherwise

_servant_preinvoke

public ServantObject _servant_preinvoke(String operation,
                                        Class expectedType)

Returns a Java reference to the local servant that should be used for sending a request for the method specified. If this ObjectImpl object is a local stub, it will invoke the _servant_preinvoke method before sending a request in order to obtain the ServantObject instance to use.

If a ServantObject object is returned, its servant field has been set to an object of the expected type (Note: the object may or may not be the actual servant instance). The local stub may cast the servant field to the expected type, and then invoke the operation directly. The ServantRequest object is valid for only one invocation and cannot be used for more than one invocation.

Parameters:

operation - a String containing the name of the method to be invoked. This name should correspond to the method name as it would be encoded in a GIOP request.

expectedType - a Class object representing the expected type of the servant that is returned. This expected type is the Class object associated with the operations class for the stub's interface. For example, a stub for an interface Foo would pass the Class object for the FooOperations interface.

Returns:

(1) a ServantObject object, which may or may not be the actual servant instance, or (2) null if (a) the servant is not local or (b) the servant has ceased to be local due to a ForwardRequest from a POA ServantManager

Throws:

BAD_PARAM - if the servant is not the expected type

_servant_postinvoke

public void _servant_postinvoke(ServantObject servant)

Is called by the local stub after it has invoked an operation on the local servant that was previously retrieved from a call to the method _servant_preinvoke. The _servant_postinvoke method must be called if the _servant_preinvoke method returned a non-null value, even if an exception was thrown by the method invoked by the servant. For this reason, the call to the method _servant_postinvoke should be placed in a Java finally clause.

Parameters:

servant - the instance of the ServantObject returned by the _servant_preinvoke method

_request

public OutputStream _request(String operation,
                             boolean responseExpected)

Returns an OutputStream object to use for marshalling the arguments of the given method. This method is called by a stub, which must indicate if a response is expected, that is, whether or not the call is oneway.

Parameters:

operation - a String giving the name of the method.

responseExpected - a boolean -- true if the request is not one way, that is, a response is expected

Returns:

an OutputStream object for dispatching the request

_invoke

public InputStream _invoke(OutputStream output)
                    throws ApplicationException,
                           RemarshalException

Invokes an operation and returns an InputStream object for reading the response. The stub provides the OutputStream object that was previously returned by a call to the _request method. The method specified as an argument to _request when it was called previously is the method that this method invokes.

If an exception occurs, the _invoke method may throw an ApplicationException object that contains an InputStream from which the user exception state may be unmarshalled.

Parameters:

output - an OutputStream object for dispatching the request

Returns:

an InputStream object containing the marshalled response to the method invoked

Throws:

ApplicationException - if the invocation meets application-defined exception

RemarshalException - if the invocation leads to a remarshalling error

See Also:

_request(java.lang.String)

_releaseReply

public void _releaseReply(InputStream input)

Releases the given reply stream back to the ORB when unmarshalling has completed after a call to the method _invoke. Calling this method is optional for the stub.

Parameters:

input - the InputStream object that was returned by the _invoke method or the ApplicationException.getInputStream method; may be null, in which case this method does nothing

See Also:

_invoke(org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream)

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String object that represents this ObjectImpl object.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the String representation of this object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code for this ObjectImpl object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

the hash code for this object

See Also:

Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Hashtable

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this ObjectImpl object with the given one for equality.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the object with which to compare this object

Returns:

true if the two objects are equal; false otherwise

Object.hashCode(), Hashtable
