Method Detail

orb

public ORB orb()

Return the Object Request Broker that has created this stream.

Returns: the ORB. This must be overridden, as the default method always returns null.

read

public int read()

Should read from the stream, but following specification it does not.

Throws: java.io.IOException NO_IMPLEMENT, always.

read_any

public abstract Any read_any()

Read a CORBA Any.

Returns: an Any.

read_boolean

public abstract boolean read_boolean()

Read a CORBA boolean.

Returns: a value, corresponding the value of the CORBA boolean.

read_boolean_array

public abstract void read_boolean_array(boolean[] value, int offset, int length)

Read a and array of CORBA boolean values.

read_char

public abstract char read_char()

Read a CORBA char.

Returns: a value, corresponding the value of the CORBA char.

read_char_array

public abstract void read_char_array(char[] value, int offset, int length)

Read a and array of CORBA characters.

read_Context

public Context read_Context()

This should read the CORBA context, but following the 1.4 API specification, it must not be implemented.

Throws: NO_IMPLEMENT, always.

read_double

public abstract double read_double()

Read a CORBA double.

Returns: a value, corresponding the value of the CORBA double.

read_double_array

public abstract void read_double_array(double[] value, int offset, int length)

Read a and array of CORBA doubles.

read_fixed

public BigDecimal read_fixed()

Read a CORBA fixed. This method is not abstract, but following the specifications it must not be implemented.

Throws: NO_IMPLEMENT, always.

read_float

public abstract float read_float()

Read a CORBA float.

Returns: a value, corresponding the value of the CORBA float.

read_float_array

public abstract void read_float_array(float[] value, int offset, int length)

Read a and array of CORBA float.

read_long

public abstract int read_long()
