get_compact_typecode

public TypeCode get_compact_typecode()

get_compact_typecode returns a new TypeCode with all type and member information removed. RepositoryID and alias are preserved. This method effectively clones the original typecode - simpler than trying to work out what type so what to duplicate (and compact).

Specified by:

get_compact_typecode in class TypeCode

Returns:

an org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode value

Overrides:

concrete_base_type in class TypeCode

Throws:

BadKind

equivalent

public boolean equivalent(TypeCode tc)

less strict equivalence check, unwinds aliases

Specified by:

equivalent in class TypeCode

toSequence

public void toSequence()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

is_recursive

public boolean is_recursive()

Returns:

TRUE is this TypeCode is recursive. Both the initial place holder TypeCode and the real TypeCode which replaces the place holder return TRUE.

isRecursive

public static boolean isRecursive(TypeCode tc)

Returns:

TRUE if the argument is a JacORB typecode and is recursive.

idlTypeName

public static java.lang.String idlTypeName(TypeCode tc)

convenience method

idlTypeName

public java.lang.String idlTypeName()

convenience method

originalType

public static TypeCode originalType(TypeCode tc)

Returns:

the content type if the argument is an alias, or the argument itself otherwise

create_tc

public static TypeCode create_tc(java.lang.Class clz)

Creates a TypeCode for an arbitrary Java class. Right now, this only covers RMI classes, not those derived from IDL.
