public abstract class AnySeqHelper
extends Object

Provides static helper methods for working with the array of the type Any (not with the "any array").

Method Summary

static Any[]
extract(Any a)
Extract the array of Any's from the given Any.
static String
id()
Returns the agreed Id, delegating functionality to the type().id().
static void
insert(Any into, Any[] that)
Insert into the given Any[] into the given Any.
static Any[]
read(InputStream input)
Reads the Any[] from the CORBA input stream.
static TypeCode
type()
Creates and returns a new instance of the TypeCode, corresponding the array of Any's.
static void
write(OutputStream output, Any[] value)
Writes the array of Any's into the given stream.

Method Details

extract

public static Any[] extract(Any a)
Extract the array of Any's from the given Any. This implementation expects the Any to hold the instance of AnySeqHolder that is returned by Any.extract_Streamable().
Parameters:
a - an Any to extract the array from.
Returns:
the extracted array.
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the Any contains something other than the the AnySeqHolder.

id

public static String id()
Returns the agreed Id, delegating functionality to the type().id().

insert

public static void insert(Any into,
                          Any[] that)
Insert into the given Any[] into the given Any. This implementation first creates a AnySeqHolder and then calls Any.insert_Streamable(Streamable).
Parameters:
into - the target Any.
that - the array to insert.

read

public static Any[] read(InputStream input)
Reads the Any[] from the CORBA input stream. This implementation first creates an instance of AnySeqHolder and then delegates functionality to its _read() method.
Parameters:
input - the CORBA (not java.io) stream to read from.
Returns:
the value from the stream.

type

public static TypeCode type()
Creates and returns a new instance of the TypeCode, corresponding the array of Any's. The length of the sequence is left with the initial value 0.

write

public static void write(OutputStream output,
                         Any[] value)
Writes the array of Any's into the given stream.
Parameters:
output - the CORBA (not java.io) output stream to write.
value - the value that must be written.
