independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that

|
|
* The DynAny interface provides possibility to access the components of the
|
| 48 |
|
|
* CORBA object, stored inside the {@link Any}. The DynAny and derived classes
|
| 49 |
|
|
* additionally allows to access the members of the sequence, structure, union
|
| 50 |
|
|
* and get the data about enumeration, value type and CORBA <code>fixed</code>
|
| 51 |
|
|
* without knowing the exact type at the run time. The returned members are also
|
| 52 |
|
|
* wrapped into DynAny objects, allowing them to be the nested structures.
|
| 53 |
|
|
* </p>
|
| 54 |
|
|
* <p>
|
| 55 |
|
|
* The DynAny's are usually produced by {@link DynAnyFactory}. This factory is
|
| 56 |
|
|
* obtained from the ORB: <br>
|
| 57 |
|
|
* <code>
|
| 58 |
|
|
* DynAnyFactory f = DynAnyFactoryHelper.narrow
|
| 59 |
|
|
* (orb.resolve_initial_references("DynAnyFactory"));
|
| 60 |
|
|
* </code>
|
| 61 |
|
|
* </p>
|
| 62 |
|
|
* <p>
|
| 63 |
|
|
* DynAny can also be returned by a method, invoked on another DynAny.
