Interface CodeSets

Holds the integer identifier of the CodeSets context. This context consist of this identifier, followed by two standard codes, first for narrow and second for wide character sets. The charset codes are integer (CORBA long) constants. Usually "narrow" means 8 bit and "wide" means 16 bit, but under specific circumstances these two charsets may be identical. The context is optional for "narrow" characters (assuming the charset code 0x00010001 = ISO 8859-1). It is required if the "wide" characters are transferred. They standard charset values are managed in {@link gnu.CORBA.GIOP.CharSets_OSF}.
