public final class FixedHolder

extends Object

implements Streamable

FixedHolder is a container class for values of IDL type "fixed", which is mapped to the Java class java.math.BigDecimal. It is usually used to store "out" and "inout" IDL method parameters. If an IDL method signature has a fixed as an "out" or "inout" parameter, the programmer must pass an instance of FixedHolder as the corresponding parameter in the method invocation; for "inout" parameters, the programmer must also fill the "in" value to be sent to the server. Before the method invocation returns, the ORB will fill in the contained value corresponding to the "out" value returned from the server.

Field Summary

BigDecimal

value The value held by the FixedHolder

Constructor Summary

FixedHolder()
Construct the FixedHolder without initializing the contained value.

FixedHolder(BigDecimal initial)
Construct the FixedHolder and initialize it with the given value.

Method Summary

void	_read(InputStream input) Read a fixed point value from the input stream and store it in the value member.
TypeCode	_type() Return the TypeCode of this holder object.
void	_write(OutputStream output) Write the fixed point value stored in this holder to an OutputStream.
