Interface org.omg.CORBA.Object

public interface Object
extends Object
This interface defines a CORBA Object Reference.

A CORBA object reference is a unique handle for a particular object implemented by a server. Specifically, an object reference identifies the same object each time the reference is used in a request. A CORBA object may be denoted by multiple, distinct object references.

Default implementations of the methods in org.omg.CORBA.Object are provided in org.omg.CORBA.ObjectImpl, which is the base class for stubs.

Method Index

o _create_request(Context, String, NVList, NamedValue)
The request creation operation for dynamic invocations.
o _create_request(Context, String, NVList, NamedValue, ExceptionList, ContextList)
The request creation operation (longer version) for dynamic invocations.
o _duplicate()
returns new reference to same object Reference
o _get_implementation()
Used to get ImplementationDef
o _get_interface()
Used to get InterfaceDef
o _hash(int)
Accesses ORB-internal identifier for object reference which does not change during the lifetime of the object reference and so neither will any hash function of that identifier.
o _is_a(String)
Check if this object supports the interface represented by the argument.
o _is_equivalent(Object)
Determines if the two object references are equivalent, so far as the ORB can easily determine.
o _non_existent()
Determines whether the object has been destroyed.
o _release()
Indicates that caller is done using object reference so that internal ORB resources associated with it can be released

Methods

o _is_a 
  public abstract boolean _is_a(String identifier) throws SystemException
Check if this object supports the interface represented by the argument.
Parameters:
repositoryIdentifier - the interface
Returns:
true if the object reference supports the interface
Throws: SystemException
One of a fixed set of CORBA system exceptions, since the implementation of is_a() may go to the server.
o _is_equivalent 
  public abstract boolean _is_equivalent(Object obj) throws SystemException
Determines if the two object references are equivalent, so far as the ORB can easily determine.
Returns:
true if target object reference is known to be equivalent to other object reference passes as parameter, false otherwise. A false only indicates that the two object references are distinct, not necessarily that they reference distinct objects.
o _non_existent 
  public abstract boolean _non_existent() throws SystemException
Determines whether the object has been destroyed.
Returns:
true if ORB knows authoritatively that the object does not exist, false otherwise
o _hash 
  public abstract int _hash(int max) throws SystemException
Accesses ORB-internal identifier for object reference which does not change during the lifetime of the object reference and so neither will any hash function of that identifier.
Parameters:
max - specifies an upper bound on the hash value returned by the ORB.
Returns:
ORB-internal identifier for object reference
o _duplicate 
  public abstract Object _duplicate() throws SystemException
returns new reference to same object Reference
o _release 
  public abstract void _release()
Indicates that caller is done using object reference so that internal ORB resources associated with it can be released
o _get_implementation 
  public abstract ImplementationDef _get_implementation()
Used to get ImplementationDef
Returns:
ImplementationDef Object in Implementation Repository that describes implementation of the current object
o _get_interface 
  public abstract InterfaceDef _get_interface()
Used to get InterfaceDef
Returns:
InterfaceDef object in Interface repository which provides type information about current object
o _create_request 
  public abstract Request _create_request(Context ctx,
                                          String operation,
                                          NVList arg_list,
                                          NamedValue result) throws SystemException
The request creation operation for dynamic invocations.
Parameters:
ctx - The context to be used.
operation - The name of the operation to be invoked.
arg_list - The arguments to the operation in the form of an NVList.
result - A container for the result as a NamedValue.
Returns:
The created request object.

o _create_request 
  public abstract Request _create_request(Context ctx,
                                          String operation,
                                          NVList arg_list,
                                          NamedValue result,
                                          ExceptionList exclist,
                                          ContextList ctxlist) throws SystemException
The request creation operation (longer version) for dynamic invocations.
Parameters:
ctx - The context to be used.
operation - The name of the operation to be invoked.
arg_list - The arguments to the operation in the form of an NVList.
result - A container for the result as a NamedValue.
exclist - A list of possible exceptions the operation can throw.
ctxlist - A list of context strings that need to be resolved and sent with the request.
Returns:
The created request object.
