Class FloatHolder

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.omg.CORBA.FloatHolder
All Implemented Interfaces:
Streamable

public final class FloatHolder
extends Object
implements Streamable

A holder for CORBA float that is mapped into java float. The holders have several application areas. The end user usually sees them implementing CORBA methods where the primitive type is passed by reference. While CORBA (or, for example, C) supports this, the java does not and a wrapper class is required.


Field Summary
 float value
          The float (CORBA float) value, held by this FloatHolder.
 
Constructor Summary
FloatHolder()
          Constructs an instance of FloatHolder, initializing value to 0.0.
FloatHolder(float initial_value)
          Constructs an instance of FloatHolder, initializing value to the given float.
 
Method Summary
 void _read(InputStream input)
          Fill in the value field by reading the required data from the given stream.
 TypeCode _type()
          Returns the TypeCode, corresponding the CORBA type that is stored using this holder.
 void _write(OutputStream output)
          Write the value field to the given stream.

Field Detail

value

public float value
The float (CORBA float) value, held by this FloatHolder.

Constructor Detail

FloatHolder

public FloatHolder()
Constructs an instance of FloatHolder, initializing value to 0.0.


FloatHolder

public FloatHolder(float initial_value)
Constructs an instance of FloatHolder, initializing value to the given float.

Parameters:
initial_value - a value that will be assigned to the value field.
Method Detail

_read

public void _read(InputStream input)
Fill in the value field by reading the required data from the given stream. For float, the functionality is delegated to InputStream.read_float().

Specified by:
_read in interface Streamable
Parameters:
input - the input stream to read from.

_type

public TypeCode _type()
Returns the TypeCode, corresponding the CORBA type that is stored using this holder.

Specified by:
_type in interface Streamable

_write

public void _write(OutputStream output)
Write the value field to the given stream. For float, the functionality is delegated to OutputStream.write_float(float).

Specified by:
_write in interface Streamable
Parameters:
output - the output stream to write into.
