Class ShortHolder

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.omg.CORBA.ShortHolder
All Implemented Interfaces:
Streamable

public final class ShortHolder
extends Object
implements Streamable

A holder for CORBA short that is mapped into java short. The holders have several application areas. The end user usually sees them implementing CORBA methods where the primitive type is passed by reference. While CORBA (or, for example, C) supports this, the java does not and a wrapper class is required.


Field Summary

Specified by:
_read in interface Streamable
Parameters:
input - the input stream to read from.

_type

public TypeCode _type()
Returns the TypeCode, corresponding the CORBA type that is stored using this holder.

Specified by:
_type in interface Streamable

_write

public void _write(OutputStream output)
