org.omg.CORBA
class LocalObject

java.lang.Object org.omg.CORBA.LocalObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

Object

public class LocalObject
extends Object
implements Object

Used as a base class for implementation of a local IDL interface in the Java language mapping. It is a class which implements all the operations in the org.omg.CORBA.Object interface.

Local interfaces are implemented by using CORBA::LocalObject to provide implementations of Object pseudo operations and any other ORB-specific support mechanisms that are appropriate for such objects. Object implementation techniques are inherently language-mapping specific. Therefore, the LocalObject type is not defined in IDL, but is specified in each language mapping.

Methods that do not apply to local objects throw an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT exception with the message, "This is a locally contrained object." Attempting to use a LocalObject to create a DII request results in NO_IMPLEMENT system exception. Attempting to marshal or stringify a LocalObject results in a MARSHAL system exception. Narrowing and widening references to LocalObjects must work as for regular object references.

LocalObject is to be used as the base class of locally constrained objects, such as those in the PortableServer module. The specification here is based on the CORBA Components Volume I - orbos/99-07-01

LocalObject

public LocalObject()

Constructs a default LocalObject instance.

_invoke

public InputStream _invoke(OutputStream output)

                           RemarshalException

Throws an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT exception with the message "This is a locally constrained object." This method is the default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

Called to invoke an operation. The stub provides an OutputStream that was previously returned by a _request() call. _invoke returns an InputStream which contains the marshaled reply. If an exception occurs, _invoke may throw an ApplicationException object which contains an InputStream from which the user exception state may be unmarshaled.

Parameters:

output - the OutputStream to invoke

Returns:

NO_IMPLEMENT because this is a locally constrained object and this method does not apply to local objects

Throws:

ApplicationException - If an exception occurs, _invoke may throw an ApplicationException object which contains an InputStream from which the user exception state may be unmarshaled.

RemarshalException - If an exception occurs, _invoke may throw an ApplicationException object which contains an InputStream from which the user exception state may be unmarshaled.

_is_a

public boolean _is_a(String repository_id)

Throws an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT exception with the message "This is a locally constrained object." This method does not apply to local objects and is therefore not implemented. This method is the default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

Parameters:

repository_id - a String

Returns:

NO_IMPLEMENT because this is a locally constrained object and this method does not apply to local objects

_is_equivalent

public boolean _is_equivalent(Object that)

Determines whether the two object references are equivalent, so far as the ORB can easily determine. Two object references are equivalent if they are identical. Two distinct object references which in fact refer to the same object are also equivalent. However, ORBs are not required to attempt determination of whether two distinct object references refer to the same object, since such determination could be impractically expensive.

Default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

Parameters:

that - the object reference with which to check for equivalence

Returns:

true if this object reference is known to be equivalent to the given object reference. Note that false indicates only that the two object references are distinct, not necessarily that they reference distinct objects.

_is_local

public boolean _is_local()

Throws an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT exception with the message "This is a locally constrained object." This method is the default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

Returns true for this LocalObject instance.

Returns:

true always

_non_existent

public boolean _non_existent()

Always returns false. This method is the default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

Returns:

false

_orb

public ORB _orb()

Throws an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT exception with the message "This is a locally constrained object." This method is the default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

Returns:

the ORB instance that created the Delegate contained in this ObjectImpl

_release

public void _release()

Throws an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT exception with the message "This is a locally constrained object." This method is the default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

_releaseReply

public void _releaseReply(InputStream input)

Throws an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT exception with the message "This is a locally constrained object." This method is the default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

May optionally be called by a stub to release a reply stream back to the ORB when the unmarshaling has completed. The stub passes the InputStream returned by _invoke() or ApplicationException.getInputStream(). A null value may also be passed to _releaseReply, in which case the method is a no-op.

Parameters:

input - the reply stream back to the ORB or null

_request

public Request _request(String operation)

Throws an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT exception with the message "This is a locally constrained object." This method is the default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

Parameters:

operation - a String giving the name of an operation to be performed by the request that is returned

Returns:

a Request object with the given operation

_request

public OutputStream _request(String operation,
                             boolean responseExpected)

Throws an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT exception with the message "This is a locally constrained object." This method is the default implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object method.

Called by a stub to obtain an OutputStream for marshaling arguments. The stub must supply the operation name, and indicate if a response is expected (i.e is this a oneway call).

Parameters:

responseExpected - true if a response is expected, false if it is a one-way call

Returns:

NO_IMPLEMENT because this is a locally constrained object and this method does not apply to local objects
