For example, 0N/A * a <code>TypeCode</code> object for an array contains 0N/A * a field for the length of the array and a field for 0N/A * the type of elements in the array. (Note that in this case, the 0N/A * second field of the <code>TypeCode</code> object is itself a 0N/A * <code>TypeCode</code> object.) 0N/A * <a name="anyOps"</a> 0N/A * A large part of the <code>Any</code> class consists of pairs of methods 0N/A * for inserting values into and extracting values from an 0N/A * <code>Any</code> object. 0N/A * For a given primitive type X, these methods are: 0N/A * <dt><code><bold> void insert_X(X x)</bold></code> 0N/A * <dd> This method allows the insertion of 0N/A * an instance <code>x</code> of primitive type <code>X</code> 0N/A * into the <code>value</code> field of the <code>Any</code> object. 0N/A * Note that the method 0N/A * <code>insert_X</code> also resets the <code>Any</code> object's 0N/A * <code>type</code> field if necessary. 0N/A * <dt> <code><bold>X extract_X()</bold></code> 0N/A * <dd> This method allows the extraction of an instance of 0N/A * type <code>X</code> from the <code>Any</code> object. 0N/A * This method throws the exception <code>BAD_OPERATION</code> under two conditions: 0N/A * <LI> the type of the element contained in the <code>Any</code> object is not 0N/A * <LI> the method <code>extract_X</code> is called before 0N/A * the <code>value</code> field of the <code>Any</code> object 0N/A * There are distinct method pairs for each 0N/A * primitive IDL data type (<code>insert_long</code> and <code>extract_long</code>, 0N/A * <code>insert_string</code> and <code>extract_string</code>, and so on).<BR> 0N/A * The class <code>Any</code> also has methods for 0N/A * getting and setting the type code, 0N/A * for testing two <code>Any</code> objects for equality, 0N/A * and for reading an <code>Any</code> object from a stream or 0N/A * writing it to a stream. 0N/A * Checks for equality between this <code>Any</code> object and the 0N/A * given <code>Any</code> object. Two <code>Any</code> objects are 0N/A * equal if both their values and type codes are equal. 0N/A * @param a the <code>Any</code> object to test for equality 0N/A * @return <code>true</code> if the <code>Any</code> objects are equal; 0N/A * <code>false</code> otherwise 0N/A * comments for unimplemented features</a> 0N/A * Returns type information for the element contained in this 0N/A * <code>Any</code> object. 0N/A * @return the <code>TypeCode</code> object containing type information 0N/A * about the value contained in this <code>Any</code> object 0N/A * Sets this <code>Any</code> object's <code>type</code> field 0N/A * to the given <code>TypeCode</code> object and clears its value. 0N/A * Note that using this method to set the type code wipes out the 0N/A * value if there is one. The method 0N/A * is provided primarily so that the type may be set properly for 0N/A * IDL <code>out</code> parameters. Generally, setting the type 0N/A * is done by the <code>insert_X</code> methods, which will set the type 0N/A * to X if it is not already set to X. 0N/A * @param t the <code>TypeCode</code> object giving 0N/A * information for the value in 0N/A * this <code>Any</code> object 0N/A /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 0N/A * Reads off (unmarshals) the value of an <code>Any</code> object from 0N/A * the given input stream using the given typecode. 0N/A * @param is the <code>org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream</code> 0N/A * object from which to read 0N/A * the value contained in this <code>Any</code> object 0N/A * @param t a <code>TypeCode</code> object containing type information 0N/A * about the value to be read 0N/A * @exception MARSHAL when the given <code>TypeCode</code> object is 0N/A * not consistent with the value that was contained 0N/A * in the input stream 0N/A * Writes out the value of this <code>Any</code> object 0N/A * to the given output stream.
