Interface ArrayDefOperations

All Superinterfaces:

IDLTypeOperations, IRObjectOperations

All Known Subinterfaces:

ArrayDef

All Known Implementing Classes:

_ArrayDefStub, ArrayDefPOA

public interface ArrayDefOperations

extends IDLTypeOperations

An ArrayDef represents an IDL array type. As array types are anonymous, this interface is not derived from TypedefDef or Contained.

Method Summary

IDLType	element_type_def() The type of the elements is identified by element_type_def.
void	element_type_def(IDLType value) The type of the elements is identified by element_type_def.
TypeCode	element_type() The type of the elements is described by element_type.
int	length() The length attribute specifies the number of elements in the array.
void	length(int value) The length attribute specifies the number of elements in the array.

Method Detail

length

public int length()

The length attribute specifies the number of elements in the array.

length

public void length(int value)

The length attribute specifies the number of elements in the array.

element_type

public TypeCode element_type()

The type of the elements is described by element_type. Since an ArrayDef only represents a single dimension of an array, multi-dimensional IDL arrays are represented by multiple ArrayDef objects, one per array dimension.

element_type_def

public IDLType element_type_def()

The type of the elements is identified by element_type_def. The element_type_def attribute of the ArrayDef representing the leftmost index of the array, as defined in IDL, will refer to the ArrayDef representing the next index to the right, and so on. The innermost ArrayDef represents the rightmost index and the element type of the multi-dimensional OMG IDL array.

element_type_def

public void element_type_def(IDLType value)

The type of the elements is identified by element_type_def. The element_type_def attribute of the ArrayDef representing the leftmost index of the array, as defined in IDL, will refer to the ArrayDef representing the next index to the right, and so on. The innermost ArrayDef represents the rightmost index and the element type of the multi-dimensional OMG IDL array.
