Class FloatHolder

public final class FloatHolder extends Object implements Streamable

A holder for CORBA float that is mapped into java float. 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
floatvalue
The float (CORBA float) value, held by this FloatHolder.
Constructor Summary
FloatHolder()
Constructs an instance of FloatHolder, initializing {@link #value} to 0.0.
FloatHolder(float initial_value)
Constructs an instance of FloatHolder, initializing {@link #value} to the given float.
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 float value
The float (CORBA float) value, held by this FloatHolder.

Constructor Detail

FloatHolder

public FloatHolder()
Constructs an instance of FloatHolder, initializing {@link #value} to 0.0.

FloatHolder

public FloatHolder(float initial_value)
Constructs an instance of FloatHolder, initializing {@link #value} to the given float.

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 float, the functionality is delegated to {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream#read_float}.

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.

_write

public void _write(OutputStream output)
Write the {@link #value } field to the given stream. For float, the functionality is delegated to {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream#write_float(float) }.

Parameters: output the output stream to write into.
