package org.omg.CORBA;

The DynUnion interface represents a DynAny object that is associated with an IDL union. Union values can be traversed using the operations defined in DynAny. The first component in the union corresponds to the discriminator; the second corresponds to the actual value of the union. Calling the method next() twice allows you to access both components.
Deprecated:Use the new DynUnion instead
