duke@1 29 * A modifiable list containing <code>NamedValue</code> objects.
duke@1 30 * <P>
duke@1 31 * The class <code>NVList</code> is used as follows:
duke@1 32 * <UL>
duke@1 33 * <LI>to describe arguments for a <code>Request</code> object
duke@1 34 * in the Dynamic Invocation Interface and
duke@1 35 * the Dynamic Skeleton Interface
duke@1 36 * <LI>to describe context values in a <code>Context</code> object
duke@1 37 * </UL>
duke@1 38 * <P>
duke@1 39 * Each <code>NamedValue</code> object consists of the following:
duke@1 40 * <UL>
duke@1 41 * <LI>a name, which is a <code>String</code> object
duke@1 42 * <LI>a value, as an <code>Any</code> object
duke@1 43 * <LI>an argument mode flag
duke@1 44 * </UL>
duke@1 45 * <P>
duke@1 46 * An <code>NVList</code> object
duke@1 47 * may be created using one of the following
duke@1 48 * <code>ORB</code> methods:
duke@1 49 * <OL>
duke@1 50 * <LI><code>org.omg.CORBA.ORB.create_list</code>
duke@1 51 * <PRE>
duke@1 52 * org.omg.CORBA.NVList nv = orb.create_list(3);
duke@1 53 * </PRE>
duke@1 54 * The variable <code>nv</code> represents a newly-created
duke@1 55 * <code>NVList</code> object. The argument is a memory-management
duke@1 56 * hint to the orb and does not imply the actual length of the list.
duke@1 57 * If, for example, you want to use an <code>NVList</code> object
duke@1 58 * in a request, and the method being invoked takes three parameters,
duke@1 59 * you might optimize by supplying 3 to the method
duke@1 60 * <code>create_list</code>. Note that the new <code>NVList</code>
duke@1 61 * will not necessarily have a length of 3; it
duke@1 62 * could have a length of 2 or 4, for instance.
duke@1 63 * Note also that you can add any number of
duke@1 64 * <code>NamedValue</code> objects to this list regardless of
duke@1 65 * its original length.
duke@1 66 * <P>
duke@1 67 * <LI><code>org.omg.CORBA.ORB.create_operation_list</code>
duke@1 68 * <PRE>
duke@1 69 * org.omg.CORBA.NVList nv = orb.create_operation_list(myOperationDef);
duke@1 70 * </PRE>
duke@1 71 * The variable <code>nv</code> represents a newly-created
duke@1 72 * <code>NVList</code> object that contains descriptions of the
duke@1 73 * arguments to the method described in the given
duke@1 74 * <code>OperationDef</code> object.
duke@1 75 * </OL>
duke@1 76 * <P>
duke@1 77 * The methods in the class <code>NVList</code> all deal with
duke@1 78 * the <code>NamedValue</code> objects in the list.
duke@1 79 * There are three methods for adding a <code>NamedValue</code> object,
duke@1 80 * a method for getting the count of <code>NamedValue</code> objects in
duke@1 81 * the list, a method for retrieving a <code>NamedValue</code> object
duke@1 82 * at a given index, and a method for removing a <code>NamedValue</code> object
duke@1 83 * at a given index.
