    1.39 +* An any can be passed to a program that doesn't have any static information for the
    1.40 +type of the any (code generated for the type by an IDL compiler has not been
    1.41 +compiled with the object implementation). As a result, the object receiving the any
    1.42 +does not have a portable method of using it.
    1.43 +<P>DynAnys enable traversal of the data value associated with an any at
    1.44 +runtime and extraction of the primitive constituents of the data value. This is especially
    1.45 +helpful for writing powerful generic servers (bridges, event channels supporting
    1.46 +filtering).
    1.47 +<P>Similarly, this facility enables the construction of an any at runtime, without having
    1.48 +static knowledge of its type. This is especially helpful for writing generic clients
    1.49 +(bridges, browsers, debuggers, user interface tools).

    1.52 +    /**
    1.53 +    * Any values can be dynamically interpreted (traversed) and constructed through DynAny objects.
    1.54 +    * A DynAny object is associated with a data value which corresponds to a copy of the value
    1.55 +    * inserted into an any.
    1.56 +    * <P>A DynAny object may be viewed as an ordered collection of component DynAnys.
    1.57 +    * For DynAnys representing a basic type, such as long, or a type without components,
    1.58 +    * such as an empty exception, the ordered collection of components is empty.
    1.59 +    * Each DynAny object maintains the notion of a current position into its collection
    1.60 +    * of component DynAnys. The current position is identified by an index value that runs
    1.61 +    * from 0 to n-1, where n is the number of components.
    1.62 +    * The special index value -1 indicates a current position that points nowhere.
    1.63 +    * For values that cannot have a current position (such as an empty exception),
    1.64 +    * the index value is fixed at -1.
    1.65 +    * If a DynAny is initialized with a value that has components, the index is initialized to 0.
    1.66 +    * After creation of an uninitialized DynAny (that is, a DynAny that has no value but a TypeCode
    1.67 +    * that permits components), the current position depends on the type of value represented by
    1.68 +    * the DynAny. (The current position is set to 0 or -1, depending on whether the new DynAny
    1.69 +    * gets default values for its components.)
    1.70 +    * <P>The iteration operations rewind, seek, and next can be used to change the current position
    1.71 +    * and the current_component operation returns the component at the current position.
    1.72 +    * The component_count operation returns the number of components of a DynAny.
    1.73 +    * Collectively, these operations enable iteration over the components of a DynAny, for example,
    1.74 +    * to (recursively) examine its contents.
    1.75 +    * <P>A constructed DynAny object is a DynAny object associated with a constructed type.
    1.76 +    * There is a different interface, inheriting from the DynAny interface, associated with
    1.77 +    * each kind of constructed type in IDL (fixed, enum, struct, sequence, union, array,
    1.78 +    * exception, and value type).
    1.79 +    * <P>A constructed DynAny object exports operations that enable the creation of new DynAny objects,
    1.80 +    * each of them associated with a component of the constructed data value.
    1.81 +    * As an example, a DynStruct is associated with a struct value. This means that the DynStruct
    1.82 +    * may be seen as owning an ordered collection of components, one for each structure member.
    1.83 +    * The DynStruct object exports operations that enable the creation of new DynAny objects,
    1.84 +    * each of them associated with a member of the struct.
    1.85 +    * <P>If a DynAny object has been obtained from another (constructed) DynAny object,
    1.86 +    * such as a DynAny representing a structure member that was created from a DynStruct,
    1.87 +    * the member DynAny is logically contained in the DynStruct.
    1.88 +    * Calling an insert or get operation leaves the current position unchanged.
    1.89 +    * Destroying a top-level DynAny object (one that was not obtained as a component of another DynAny)
    1.90 +    * also destroys any component DynAny objects obtained from it.
    1.91 +    * Destroying a non-top level DynAny object does nothing.
    1.92 +    * Invoking operations on a destroyed top-level DynAny or any of its descendants raises OBJECT_NOT_EXIST.
    1.93 +    * If the programmer wants to destroy a DynAny object but still wants to manipulate some component
    1.94 +    * of the data value associated with it, then he or she should first create a DynAny for the component
    1.95 +    * and, after that, make a copy of the created DynAny object.
    1.96 +    * <P>The behavior of DynAny objects has been defined in order to enable efficient implementations
    1.97 +    * in terms of allocated memory space and speed of access. DynAny objects are intended to be used
    1.98 +    * for traversing values extracted from anys or constructing values of anys at runtime.
    1.99 +    * Their use for other purposes is not recommended.
   1.100 +    * <P>Insert and get operations are necessary to handle basic DynAny objects
   1.101 +    * but are also helpful to handle constructed DynAny objects.
   1.102 +    * Inserting a basic data type value into a constructed DynAny object
   1.103 +    * implies initializing the current component of the constructed data value
   1.104 +    * associated with the DynAny object. For example, invoking insert_boolean on a
   1.105 +    * DynStruct implies inserting a boolean data value at the current position
   1.106 +    * of the associated struct data value.
   1.107 +    * A type is consistent for inserting or extracting a value if its TypeCode is equivalent to
   1.108 +    * the TypeCode contained in the DynAny or, if the DynAny has components, is equivalent to the TypeCode
   1.109 +    * of the DynAny at the current position.
   1.110 +    * <P>DynAny and DynAnyFactory objects are intended to be local to the process in which they are
   1.111 +    * created and used. This means that references to DynAny and DynAnyFactory objects cannot be exported
   1.112 +    * to other processes, or externalized with ORB.object_to_string().
   1.113 +    * If any attempt is made to do so, the offending operation will raise a MARSHAL system exception.
   1.114 +    * Since their interfaces are specified in IDL, DynAny objects export operations defined in the standard
   1.115 +    * org.omg.CORBA.Object interface. However, any attempt to invoke operations exported through the Object
   1.116 +    * interface may raise the standard NO_IMPLEMENT exception.
   1.117 +    * An attempt to use a DynAny object with the DII may raise the NO_IMPLEMENT exception.

  1.1261 +        * For complex types, creation of the corresponding DynAny assigns a default value as follows:
  1.1262 +        * <UL>
  1.1263 +        * <LI>For DynSequence it sets the current position to -1 and creates an empty sequence.
  1.1264 +        * <LI>For DynEnum it sets the current position to -1 and sets the value of the enumerator
  1.1265 +        *     to the first enumerator value indicated by the TypeCode.
  1.1266 +        * <LI>For DynFixed it sets the current position to -1 and sets the value zero.
  1.1267 +        * <LI>For DynStruct it sets the current position to -1 for empty exceptions
  1.1268 +        *     and to zero for all other TypeCodes. The members (if any) are (recursively) initialized
  1.1269 +        *     to their default values.
  1.1270 +        * <LI>For DynArray sets the current position to zero and (recursively) initializes elements
  1.1271 +        *     to their default value.
  1.1272 +        * <LI>For DynUnion sets the current position to zero. The discriminator value is set
  1.1273 +        *     to a value consistent with the first named member of the union. That member is activated and (recursively)
  1.1274 +        *     initialized to its default value.
  1.1275 +        * <LI>For DynValue and DynValueBox it initializes to a null value.
