TypeCode

Synopsis

A TypeCode object describes the IDL type of a CORBA object, analogously to how the Java Class for an object (obtained using the getClass() method on java.lang.Object) describes its Java type. At a minimum, a TypeCode object contains a TCKind element that specifies the IDL data type that it represents. For structured IDL types, such as structs and unions, it also contains additional information about the data type. The member_XXX() methods are used to obtain information about the members of structs, unions, enums, and exceptions, while the length() method gives the length of strings, sequences, and array types, for example.
