Interface TAG_CODE_SETS

Holds the integer identifier of the code sets profile. The code sets profile provides information about the native and supported encodings for the "narrow" (usually 8 bit) and "wide" (usually 16 bit) characters. In Gnu Classpath implementation the class, responsible for providing this information is {@link gnu.CORBA.GIOP.CharSets_OSF}.

If this profile is missing, it is assumed, that the "narrow" characters are encoded in ISO 8859-1. However there is no default encoding for the "wide" characters, and, if this profile is missing, the INV_OBJREF minor code 1 is thrown.

The "narrow" characters are used in char and string. The "wide" characters are used in wchar and wstring and are not supported by GIOP 1.0.
