a - the Any to extract from.
Returns:
the extracted value type.

id

public static String id()
Return the value base helper repository id.
Returns:
IDL:omg.org/CORBA/ValueBase:1.0, always.

public static void insert(Any a,
                          Serializable that)
Insert the value base that is Serializable into the given Any.
Parameters:
a - the Any to insert into.
that - the value base to insert.

public static Serializable read(InputStream input)
Read the value base from the given input stream.
Parameters:
input - a stream to read from.
Returns:
the loaded value.
Throws:
MARSHAL - if the reading has failed due any reason.

type

public static TypeCode type()
Get the typecode of the value type.
Returns:
the typecode of the value type

write

public static void write(OutputStream output,
                         Serializable value)
Write the value base into the given stream. If the passed value implements the CustomMarshal, the helper uses CustomMarshal.marshal(DataOutputStream) to write the content in a user defined way. Otherwise, this implementation initialises the ObjectOutputStream and writes through it.
