OctetSeqHelper

public OctetSeqHelper()
Method Detail

extract

public static byte[] extract(Any a)
Extract the byte[] from the given Any. This implementation expects the Any to hold the instance of OctetSeqHolder 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 OctetSeqHolder.

id

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


insert

public static void insert(Any into,
                          byte[] that)
Insert into the given byte[] into the given Any. This implementation first creates a OctetSeqHolder and then calls Any.insert_Streamable(Streamable).

Parameters:
into - the target Any.
that - the array to insert.

read

public static byte[] read(InputStream input)
Reads the byte[] from the CORBA input stream.

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 CORBA OctetSeq. The length of the sequence is left with the initial value 0.


write

public static void write(OutputStream output,
                         byte[] value)
Writes the byte[] into the given stream.

Parameters:
output - the CORBA (not java.io) output stream to write.
value - the value that must be written.
