34 Provides support for the marshalling of value types. Value type |
|
35 marshalling may require access to an implementation of the value type or |
|
36 to meta information about the value type. This information is passed |
|
37 between the sending context and the receiving context using a particular |
|
38 service context containing an instance of the |
|
39 <code>SendingContext.RunTime</code> interface. |
|
40 <P> |
|
41 A sending context may be either the client side or the server side of |
|
42 an invocation, depending on which contains a value type. |
|
43 The sending context is the client side of an |
|
44 invocation if the request contains a value type. It is the server side |
|
45 if the reply contains a value type. The other party in the communication |
|
46 is the receiving context. |
|
47 <P> |
|
48 The service context marshalled for <code>SendingContext</code> |
|
49 consists of an encapsulated IOR for the <code>SendingContext.RunTime</code> |
|
50 interface. <code>RunTime</code> is just a marker |
|
51 interface defined to allow extensibility in the future. There is |
|
52 currently only one subinterface of <code>RunTime</code> defined: |
|
53 the <code>SendingContext.CodeBase</code> interface. |
|
54 The interface <code>CodeBase</code> defines operations to obtain code URLs |
|
55 and meta-information about a value type received from the sending |
|
56 context. |
|
57 <P> |
|
58 Note that these classes are currently defined in the |
|
59 <code>com.sun.org.omg.SendingContext</code> |
|
60 package rather than in the package <code>org.omg.SendingContext</code>. |
|
61 This has been done to avoid including large parts of the interface |
|
62 repository in the JDK core, since the interface repository is still |
|
63 evolving in response to the needs of the CORBA Components work. |
