Class Delegate

Known Direct Subclasses:
Delegate, SimpleDelegate

public abstract class Delegate
extends Object

Specifies a vendor specific implementation of the Object methods. The calls to these methods are forwarded to the object delegate that can be replaced, if needed. The first parameter is the actual CORBA object to that the operation must be applied. Some methods in this class are not abstract, but no implemented, thowing the NO_IMPLEMENT. This, however, does not mean that they are not implemented in the derived classes as well.

duplicate

public abstract Object duplicate(Object target)
Duplicate the object reference. This does not make much sense for java platform and is just included for the sake of compliance with CORBA APIs.
Parameters:
target - the CORBA object, to that this operation must be applied. The method may return the object reference itself.
Returns:
as a rule, this.

equals

public boolean equals(Object self,
                      Object other)
Compares two objects for equality. The default implementations delegated call to Object.equals(Object).
Parameters:
self - this CORBA object.
other - the other CORBA object.
Returns:
true if the objects are equal.

get_domain_managers

public DomainManager[] get_domain_managers(Object target)
Retrieve the domain managers for this object.
Parameters:
target - the CORBA object, to that this operation must be applied.
Returns:
the domain managers.

get_interface_def

public abstract Object get_interface_def(Object target)
Parameters:
target - the CORBA object, to that this operation must be applied. Get the InterfaceDef for this Object.

get_policy

public Policy get_policy(Object target,
                         int a_policy_type)
            throws BAD_PARAM
Returns the Policy, applying to this object.

Returns:
a corresponding Policy object.

hash

public abstract int hash(Object target,
                         int maximum)
Get the hashcode this object reference. The same hashcode still does not means that the references are the same. From the other side, two different references may still refer to the same CORBA object. The returned value must not change during the object lifetime.
Parameters:
target - the CORBA object, to that this operation must be applied.
maximum - the maximal value to return.
Returns:
the hashcode.

hashCode

public int hashCode(Object target)
Return the hashcode for this CORBA object. The default implementation delegates call to hash(Object,int), passing Integer.MAX_VALUE as an argument.
Parameters:
target - the object, for that the hash code must be computed.
Returns:
the hashcode.

Invoke the operation.
Parameters:
target - the invocation target.
output - the stream, containing the written arguments.
