public interface DynAnyFactoryOperations

Defines the operations, applicable for DynAnyFactory. These operations produce new DynAny's either from Any, serving as a template and value provider, or from the given typecode.

Method Summary

DynAny
create_dyn_any(Any value)
Create DynAny using the given Any as template.
DynAny
create_dyn_any_from_type_code(TypeCode type)
Create DynAny for holding the data of the given type.

Method Details

create_dyn_any

public DynAny create_dyn_any(Any value)
            throws InconsistentTypeCode
Create DynAny using the given Any as template.
Parameters:
value - the Any, providing type and value for the DynAny being created.
Returns:
the created DynAny, having the same type and storing the same value as the passed Any.
Throws:
InconsistentTypeCode - if value.type().kind() is tk_Principal, tk_native or tk_abstract_interface. These types cannot be stored in DynAny.

create_dyn_any_from_type_code

public DynAny create_dyn_any_from_type_code(TypeCode type)
            throws InconsistentTypeCode
Create DynAny for holding the data of the given type. The returned DynAny is initialised to its agreed default value. The agreed default values are:
TypeValueCreates

TypeCodeTypecode of kind TCKind.tk_nullDynValue, DynValueBox
Parameters:
type - the type of the data being stored.
Returns:
the created DynAny, having the passed type.
Throws:
InconsistentTypeCode - if type.kind() is tk_Principal, tk_native or tk_abstract_interface. These types cannot be stored in DynAny.
