Class FixedHolder

public final class FixedHolder extends Object implements Streamable

A holder for CORBA fixed that is mapped into java BigDecimal. The holders have several application areas. The end user usually sees them implementing CORBA methods where the primitive type is passed by reference. While CORBA (or, for example, C) supports this, the java does not and a wrapper class is required.

Field Summary
BigDecimal	value The `BigDecimal` (CORBA `fixed`) value, held by this FixedHolder.

Constructor Summary
	FixedHolder() Constructs an instance of FixedHolder, initializing {@link #value} to `null`.
	FixedHolder(BigDecimal initial_value) Constructs an instance of FixedHolder, initializing {@link #value} to the given `BigDecimal`.

Method Summary
void	_read(InputStream input) Fill in the {@link #value } field by reading the required data from the given stream.
TypeCode	_type() Returns the TypeCode, corresponding the CORBA type that is stored using this holder.
void	_write(OutputStream output) Write the {@link #value } field to the given stream.

Field Detail

value

public BigDecimal value

The BigDecimal (CORBA fixed) value, held by this FixedHolder.

Constructor Detail

FixedHolder

public FixedHolder()

Constructs an instance of FixedHolder, initializing {@link #value} to null.

FixedHolder

public FixedHolder(BigDecimal initial_value)

Constructs an instance of FixedHolder, initializing {@link #value} to the given BigDecimal.

Parameters: initial_value a value that will be assigned to the {@link #value} field.

Method Detail

_read

public void _read(InputStream input)

Fill in the {@link #value } field by reading the required data from the given stream. For fixed, the functionality is delegated to {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream#read_fixed}.

Parameters: input the input stream to read from.

_type

public TypeCode _type()

Returns the TypeCode, corresponding the CORBA type that is stored using this holder. The scale and digits are set corresponding the scale and used digits of the value that is currently stored or left with default value 0 if the value is not set.

_write

public void _write(OutputStream output)

Write the {@link #value } field to the given stream. For fixed, the functionality is delegated to {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream#write_fixed(BigDecimal) }.

Parameters: output the output stream to write into.
