Chapter 30. The org.omg.CORBA Package

The org.omg.CORBA package contains the bulk of the Java classes in the Java IDL API. The classes in this package represent the mapping between Java and the CORBA module defined in IDL in the CORBA standard. That means this package includes the bulk of the interfaces, constants, etc., that make up CORBA. Key classes in this package are the ORB class, which is a Java implementation of an ORB, and the Object interface, which serves as the root class for all CORBA objects. Figure 30-1 shows the hierarchy of interfaces defined in org.omg.CORBA, Figure 30-2 shows the class hierarchy, and Figure 30-1 shows the exceptions.

AnyJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable

A wrapper for any IDL type, whether user-defined or a basic type. You can access the TypeCode for the contents of an Any object using the type() methods. Use the extract_XXX() and insert_XXX() methods to get to the data itself.

An Any object is the value in a NamedValue object. Any objects are used often in the Dynamic Invocation Interface, to compose arguments to method requests.

ARG_INJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

This interface defines a value constant that is used to specify an input method argument when creating a named value with the ORB.create_named_value() method. The last argument to this method is an integer flag that indicates the argument mode for the named value as it is used in a dynamic method invocation. The integer flag can be either ARG_IN.value, ARG_OUT.value, or ARG_INOUT.value, to indicate what type of method argument the named value represents. Here's an example that assumes you have a reference to an ORB named myOrb and an Any object named myAny that holds the argument value:

org.omg.CORBA.NamedValue inArg = 
   myOrb.create_named_value("MethodArg1", myAny, org.omg.CORBA.ARG_IN.value);

The inArg named value can now be used in a Dynamic Invocation Interface call to a method that has an in argument named MethodArg1. See also ARG_INOUT and ARG_OUT.

public abstract interface ARG_IN {
// Public Constants
public static final int value ; =1
}
ARG_INOUTJava 1.2

COMM_FAILUREJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable unchecked

A standard CORBA exception thrown when a communications failure occurs during a remote operation. Sun's Java IDL defines the following minor error code values for this exception, stored in the minor data member inherited from SystemException:

Minor Code

Meaning
1

Unable to connect to the required remote ORB.
2

A write to a socket failed, either because the socket has been closed by the remote peer or because the socket connection has been aborted.
3

A write to a socket failed because the connection was closed on this side of the socket.

CompletionStatusJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable

When an org.omg.CORBA.SystemException is thrown, it contains a CompletionStatus object that indicates whether the method invocation was completed before the exception was encountered. CompletionStatus has three static instances, COMPLETED_YES, COMPLETED_MAYBE, and COMPLETED_NO, and three static int members, _COMPLETED_YES, _COMPLETED_MAYBE and _COMPLETED_NO. When you receive a CompletionStatus, you can either compare it to one of the static instances or compare its value (queried using the value() method) to one of the static int values.

public class CompletionStatus implements org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity {
// Protected Constructors
protected CompletionStatus (int _value);
// Public Constants
public static final int _COMPLETED_MAYBE ; =2
public static final int _COMPLETED_NO ; =1
public static final int _COMPLETED_YES ; =0
public static final CompletionStatus COMPLETED_MAYBE ;
public static final CompletionStatus COMPLETED_NO ;
public static final CompletionStatus COMPLETED_YES ;
// Public Class Methods
public static CompletionStatus from_int (int i) throws BAD_PARAM;
// Public Instance Methods
public int value ();
}

Passed To: Too many methods to list.

Returned By: CompletionStatus.from_int()

Type Of: CompletionStatus.{COMPLETED_MAYBE, COMPLETED_NO, COMPLETED_YES}, org.omg.CORBA.SystemException.completed

ContextJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

A Context object contains a list of properties, stored as NamedValue objects, that is passed along with a method request to indicate properties of the client context. Every ORB has a default context, accessed using the ORB.get_default_context() method. Contexts can be linked in a hierarchy of contexts. If a search for a property is made on a Context object, and the search within the object fails, the search is continued in the parent Context, and so on until the root context is reached. You can create a new child of a Context using its create_child() method. Other methods on the Context class let you get, set, and delete values from the Context.

public abstract class Context {
// Public Constructors
public Context ();
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract String context_name ();
public abstract org.omg.CORBA.Context create_child (String child_ctx_name);
public abstract void delete_values (String propname);
public abstract NVList get_values (String start_scope, int op_flags, String pattern);
public abstract org.omg.CORBA.Context parent ();
public abstract void set_one_value (String propname, Any propvalue);
public abstract void set_values (NVList values);
}

Passed To: org.omg.CORBA.Object._create_request(), Request.ctx(), org.omg.CORBA.portable.Delegate.create_request(), org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl._create_request(), org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream.write_Context()

Returned By: org.omg.CORBA.Context.{create_child(), parent()}, ORB.get_default_context(), Request.ctx(), ServerRequest.ctx(), org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream.read_Context()

ContextListJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

A ContextList is a list of context property names only (i.e., a list of String objects). A ContextList along with an NVList that contains NamedValue objects represents the relevant subset of a Context that is passed along with a remote method call.

public abstract class ContextList {
// Public Constructors
public ContextList ();
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract void add (String ctx);
public abstract int count ();
public abstract String item (int index) throws org.omg.CORBA.Bounds;
public abstract void remove (int index) throws org.omg.CORBA.Bounds;
}

Passed To: org.omg.CORBA.Object._create_request(), org.omg.CORBA.portable.Delegate.create_request(), org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl._create_request(), org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream.write_Context()

Returned By: ORB.create_context_list(), Request.contexts()

CTX_RESTRICT_SCOPEJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

This interface contains a static value member that can be used as a flag to the search routine accessible through the Context.get_values() method. Using CTX_RESTRICT_SCOPE.value as the flag to this method indicates that the search for context values should be restricted to the scope specified in the first method argument, or to the context object that invokes the method, if the scope is null. For example, this call to the search method:

Context ctx = ... // get context somehow
NVList myVals = ctx.get_values(null, org.omg.CORBA.CTX_RESTRICT_SCOPE.value, "username");

searches the context represented by the context object for values named "username".

public abstract interface CTX_RESTRICT_SCOPE {
// Public Constants
public static final int value ; =15
}
CurrentJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

The Current interface represents an optional feature provided by CORBA that allows the ORB and CORBA services to export information about the thread in which they are running. Sun's Java IDL does not use this feature. If an ORB or service provider decides to provide this information, it should create a concrete subclass of this interface and make it available through the ORB's resolve_initial_references() method.

public abstract interface Current extends org.omg.CORBA.Object {
}

Hierarchy: (Current(org.omg.CORBA.Object))

Returned By: ORB.get_current()

DATA_CONVERSIONJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable unchecked

A standard CORBA exception thrown when the ORB fails to convert some piece of data, such as during the conversion of a stringified object reference. Sun's Java IDL defines the following minor error code values for this exception, stored in the minor data member inherited from SystemException:

Minor Code

Meaning
1

A bad hexadecimal character was found while converting a stringified object reference back to an object reference.
2

The byte length of a stringified object reference is odd, when it must be even.
3

The "IOR:" preface is missing from the stringified object reference passed into string_to_object().
4

The resolve_initial_references() method failed because the location (host and port number) of the remote ORB specified is invalid or unspecified, or the remote server doesn't support the Java IDL bootstrap protocol.

org.omg.CORBAserializable

Used by an IRObject to indicate what type of repository object it represents (e.g., method, attribute). To determine the type of an IRObject, either compare the value member of DefinitionKind to the static int members of this class or compare the DefinitionKind object itself to the static instances defined in this class.

DomainManagerJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

The DomainManager interface represents an object that manages a group of objects (a domain) under a common set of access policies. A set of policies control access to certain operations over the objects in a given domain. You can access the DomainManager for an org.omg.CORBA.Object by using its _get_domain_managers() method, which returns an array of DomainManager objects, one for each domain of the Object. DomainManagerobjects can be hierarchical, in that a domain can contain other DomainManager objects. Since the DomainManager is an Object, you can use its _get_domain_managers() method to traverse the manager hierarchy.

DomainManager defines a single method, get_domain_policy(), that allows you to get the policy of a given type for the objects in the domain. The policy is represented by a Policy object. The type of policy is indicated with an integer identifier, where the possible values are application-specific. The CORBA Security service, for example, defines its own set of policy types. If the policy type you pass into get_domain_policy() is not supported by the ORB, or if the domain doesn't define that type of policy, an BAD_PARAM system exception is thrown.

The DomainManager interface, and the corresponding methods on the org.omg.CORBA.Object interface, are really just a placeholder for future support for object domains in the CORBA standard. There are currently no interfaces defined for adding objects and policies to domains, for example. The OMG intends to provide this in a management facility specification in the future.

DynamicImplementationJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

The abstract base class for servant object implementations in the Dynamic Skeleton Interface. Derived servant classes must implement the invoke() method, which is called by the ORB to handle requests on the object represented by the servant.

DynAnyJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

The DynAny interface forms the core of CORBA's facility for the dynamic introspection of Any values for which the implementation class is not available. This facility has similar goals as Java's built-in introspection facilities, but CORBA provides it as IDL interfaces so that it can be used no matter what implementation language is chosen. The CORBA facility allows services and objects to determine the type and contents of a value passed into a method, without having access to its implementation interface. The service or object can wrap an incoming Any value with DynAny to probe its properties and structure.

DynAny objects should not be exported outside the processes in which they are created. If you attempt to create a stringified reference to a DynAny object using the ORB.object_to_string() method, a MARSHAL exception is thrown.

The DynAny interface provides a series of get_XXX() and insert_XXX() methods that can be used to access or modify the contents of the Any value if it is an IDL basic type. The TypeCode for the contents can also be accessed, using the type() method. If the Any value holds a complex data type, such as a struct, the next(), seek(), rewind(), and current_component() methods on the DynAny interface can iterate through the data members of the contents.

There are various subtypes of DynAny that provide access to the components of specific IDL complex types, such as structs, enums, and unions. These subtypes and basic DynAny objects can be created using the create_dyn_XXX() methods available on the ORB interface.

IRObjectJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable

All the informational interfaces used and exported by the Interface Repository derive from the IRObject interface. The Interface Repository is a component of the ORB that stores definitions of object interfaces. These interface definitions are used by the ORB at runtime to check the correctness of method requests and to support Dynamic Invocation Interface requests. They can also be used within development tools, to provide information about remote interfaces for browsing and linking them. The Interface Repository is analogous to a table schema in a relational database, in that it describes the type of objects an ORB is supporting. The Interface Repository uses a set of IDL interfaces (e.g., InterfaceDef, AttributeDef) to represent the modules, interfaces, attributes, methods, etc., it manages. All of these interfaces derive from the IRObject interface.

The IRObject has a def_kind() method that indicates the type of definition the object represents (module, attribute, etc.).

ORBJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

The ORB class is at the heart of the CORBA API. The ORB class provides CORBA clients and server objects access to the basic CORBA functions needed to engage in remote object operations. The static init() methods let you initialize a reference to an ORB. ORB provides access to initial objects and service through its resolve_initial_references() method. It also provides constructor methods that allow you to create key objects needed to perform remote method requests, like Any and NamedValue objects. The ORB also allows you to convert a CORBA object reference to a portable stringified form and back again, using its object_to_string() and string_to_object() methods.

PolicyJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

This is the base interface for objects that represent usage policies for ORBs and other CORBA services. Policies for certain objects or domains of objects can be obtained from a DomainManager, which in turn can be obtained from the Object in question using its _get_domain_managers() method. The policy_type() method on Policy provides access to an integer type indicator, where the allowable values are implementation-specific.

RequestJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBA

A Request represents a remote method request under the Dynamic Invocation Interface. Request objects are created by calling the create_request() method on the org.omg.CORBA.Object reference for the remote object that will service the method request. The Request contains the name of the method to be invoked, an NVList containing NamedValue objects that represent the method arguments, and the return value for the method, if appropriate. It can also contain a description of the exceptions the method can throw and the client context values that the method accepts.

You add method arguments to a Request by calling one of its add_XXX() methods, which all return an Any object that you can initialize with the value of the argument. Once the Request has been initialized with its arguments and any other information, the method can be invoked synchronously using the invoke() method, asynchronously using send_deferred(), or in one-way mode using send_oneway(). Immediately after the invoke() method returns, any return values or thrown exceptions are available for you to query. After calling the send_deferred() method, you can poll and retrieve the method response by calling the poll_response() and get_response() methods. If the response is ready, get_response() initializes the internal return value or exception in the Request object, and it can be retrieved using the return_value() method. After calling send_oneway(), no return value or exception is returned. You can use send_oneway() on methods even if they weren't declared as oneway in the corresponding IDL for the interface.

SetOverrideTypeJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable

The static instances on the SetOverrideType class are used in calls to the set_policy_overrides() method on org.omg.CORBA.Object. This method allows you to override security-related policies that are imposed on an object by a CORBA Security Service by passing in an array of Policy objects and a SetOverrideType object. There are two static SetOverrideType instances that can be passed in as the second argument to this method. SetOverrideType.ADD_OVERRIDE indicates that the policies being passed in should be added to any existing policies that apply to the object, while SetOverrideType.SET_OVERRIDE indicates that the policies being provided should replace any existing policies on the object.

SystemExceptionJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable unchecked

This is the base class for all standard CORBA exceptions. A SystemException can be thrown by any CORBA remote method call. Many CORBA API methods throw SystemException objects as well. The SystemException class provides an integer minor code that can be optionally used by a subclass to indicate a more precise reason for an exception. The class also provides a CompletionStatus object that can indicate to the caller whether the method invocation was completed or not when the exception was encountered.

Subclasses of SystemException represent the many errors that can occur while a remote method request is being processed by the client's ORB, transferred to the server ORB, executed on the server object, and having its response transferred back to the client. A SystemException can originate on the client or on the server, before, during, or after the actual execution of the method on the remote object.

Since SystemException extends java.lang.RuntimeException, these exceptions don't need to be declared in method signatures. But remember that any remote method declared in an IDL interface can throw any of the subclasses of SystemException, just as any local Java method can throw any subclass of RuntimeException during execution.

public abstract class SystemException extends RuntimeException {
// Protected Constructors
protected SystemException (String reason, int minor, CompletionStatus completed);

TypeCodeJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable

A TypeCode object describes the IDL type of a CORBA object, analogously to how the Java Class for an object (obtained using the getClass() method on java.lang.Object) describes its Java type. At a minimum, a TypeCode object contains a TCKind element that specifies the IDL data type it represents. For structured IDL types, like struct and union, it also contains additional information about the data type. The member_XXX() methods can obtain information about the members of struct, union, enum, and exception types, while the length() method gives the length of string, sequence and array types.

public final class UnionMember implements org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity {
// Public Constructors
public UnionMember ();
public UnionMember (String __name, Any __label, TypeCode __type, IDLType __type_def);
// Public Instance Fields
public Any label ;
public String name ;
public TypeCode type ;
public IDLType type_def ;
}

UNKNOWNJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable unchecked

A standard CORBA exception thrown when the ORB encounters an error it can't interpret. Sun's Java IDL defines the following minor error code values for this exception, stored in the minor data member inherited from SystemException:

Minor Code

Meaning

1

During unmarshalling of the response to a method request, a user exception was returned by the server implementation that is not in the set of exceptions expected by the client.

3

The server implementation threw an unknown runtime exception.
public final class UNKNOWN extends org.omg.CORBA.SystemException {
// Public Constructors
public UNKNOWN ();
public UNKNOWN (String s);
public UNKNOWN (int minor, CompletionStatus completed);
public UNKNOWN (String s, int minor, CompletionStatus completed);
}

UnknownUserExceptionJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable checked

This exception class can wrap any user exceptions that are thrown during Dynamic Invocation Interface remote method calls. If an exception is thrown by the server object during such a call, the client can call the env() method on its Request object to get the request's Environment. The exception contained within the Environment is an UnknownUserException. The actual user exception the server threw is contained in the except data member of the UnknownUserException, which is an Any object.

public final class UnknownUserException extends UserException {
// Public Constructors
public UnknownUserException ();
public UnknownUserException (Any a);
// Public Instance Fields
public Any except ;
}

UserExceptionJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable checked

This is the base class for all user exceptions that are defined in IDL and mapped to Java. It extends java.lang.Exception directly, so it represents a Java exception that must be declared in method signatures and caught in application code that calls these methods. Unlike the SystemException, the UserException class doesn't declare any data members for describing the exception to the caller. A subclass must do this to suit the type of exception it represents. It does, however, inherit the message property from Throwable, which can store a descriptive message on the exception to describe the reason.

public abstract class UserException extends Exceptionimplements org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity {
// Protected Constructors
protected UserException ();
protected UserException (String reason);
}

Hierarchy: Object-->Throwable(Serializable)-->Exception-->UserException(org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity(Serializable))

Subclasses: org.omg.CORBA.Bounds, PolicyError, UnknownUserException, WrongTransaction, org.omg.CORBA.DynAnyPackage.Invalid, org.omg.CORBA.DynAnyPackage.InvalidSeq, org.omg.CORBA.DynAnyPackage.InvalidValue, org.omg.CORBA.DynAnyPackage.TypeMismatch, org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InconsistentTypeCode, org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidName, org.omg.CORBA.TypeCodePackage.BadKind, org.omg.CORBA.TypeCodePackage.Bounds, AlreadyBound, CannotProceed, org.omg.CosNaming.NamingContextPackage.InvalidName, NotEmpty, NotFound

ValueMemberJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable

A class that represents a member of an object passed by value using the proposed Objects-by-Value extension to CORBA. ValueMember objects can create TypeCode objects for values with the ORB.create_value_tc() method.

public final class ValueMember implements org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity {
// Public Constructors
public ValueMember ();
public ValueMember (String __name, String __id, String __defined_in, String __version, TypeCode __type, IDLType __type_def, short __access);
// Public Instance Fields
public short access ;
public String defined_in ;
public String id ;
public String name ;
public TypeCode type ;
public IDLType type_def ;
public String version ;
}

Hierarchy: Object-->ValueMember(org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity(Serializable))

Passed To: ORB.create_value_tc()

WrongTransactionJava 1.2
org.omg.CORBAserializable checked

A user exception thrown when an attempt is made to get the response to a deferred method request from a different transaction than the original request. If a client makes an asynchronous Dynamic Invocation Interface method request using the Request.send_deferred() method within a given transaction and then later makes a call to the Request object's get_response() method from within a different transaction, a WrongTransaction exception is thrown. This exception can also be thrown if the ORB.get_next_response() method is called from a different transaction than the original method request.

public class WrongTransaction extends UserException {
// Public Constructors
public WrongTransaction ();
public WrongTransaction (String reason);
}

Hierarchy: Object-->Throwable(Serializable)-->Exception-->UserException(org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity(Serializable))-->WrongTransaction

Thrown By: ORB.get_next_response(), Request.get_response()
