Provides a portability layer, that is, a set of ORB APIs that makes it possible for code generated by one vendor to run on another vendor's ORB. Stubs and other code, generated either from IDL or interfaces written in the Java programming language, can call into these ORB APIs.
| Interface | Description |
|---|---|
| BoxedValueHelper | The |
| CustomValue |
An extension of ValueBase that is implemented by custom value
types.
|
| IDLEntity | An interface with no members whose only purpose is to serve as a marker indicating that an implementing class is a C# value type from IDL that has a corresponding Helper class. RMI IIOP serialization looks for such a marker to perform marshalling/unmarshalling. |
| InvokeHandler | This interface provides a dispatching mechanism for an incoming call. It is invoked by the ORB to dispatch a request to a servant. |
| ResponseHandler | This interface is supplied by an ORB to a servant at invocation time and allows the servant to later retrieve an OutputStream for returning the invocation results. |
| Streamable | The base class for the Holder classess of all complex IDL types. The ORB treats all generated Holders as Streamable to invoke the methods for marshalling and unmarshalling. |
| StreamableValue | Defines the base type for all non-boxed IDL valuetypes that are not custom marshaled. All value types implement ValueBase either directly or indirectly by implementing either the StreamableValue or CustomValue interface. |
| ValueBase | The C# classes corresponding to valuetype IDL types implement this interface. |
| ValueFactory | The ValueFactory interface is the native mapping for the IDL type CORBA::ValueFactory. |
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| Delegate | The Delegate abstract class specifies a portable API for ORB-vendor-specific implementation of the CORBA.Object methods. |
| InputStream | InputStream is the Java API for reading IDL types from CDR marshal streams. |
| OutputStream | OuputStream is the Java API for writing IDL types to CDR marshal streams. |
| Exception | Description |
|---|---|
| ApplicationException | This class is used for reporting application level exceptions between ORBs and stubs. |
| IndirectionException | The Indirection exception is a Java specific system exception. |
| RemarshalException | This class is used for reporting locate forward exceptions and object forward GIOP messages back to the ORB. |
| UnknownException | The org.omg.CORBA.portable.UnknownException is used for reporting unknown exceptions between ties and ORBs and between ORBs and stubs. |
