Returns true if this object is implemented by a local servant.
Params:
  • self – The object reference which delegated to this delegate.
Returns:true only if the servant incarnating this object is located in this Java VM. Return false if the servant is not local or the ORB does not support local stubs for this particular servant. The default behavior of is_local() is to return false.

public boolean is_local(org.omg.CORBA.Object self) { return false; }
Returns a Java reference to the servant which should be used for this request. servant_preinvoke() is invoked by a local stub. If a ServantObject object is returned, then its servant field has been set to an object of the expected type (Note: the object may or may not be the actual servant instance). The local stub may cast the servant field to the expected type, and then invoke the operation directly. The ServantRequest object is valid for only one invocation, and cannot be used for more than one invocation.
Params:
  • self – The object reference which delegated to this delegate.
  • operation – a string containing the operation name. The operation name corresponds to the operation name as it would be encoded in a GIOP request.
  • expectedType – a Class object representing the expected type of the servant. The expected type is the Class object associated with the operations class of the stub's interface (e.g. A stub for an interface Foo, would pass the Class object for the FooOperations interface).
Returns:a ServantObject object. The method may return a null value if it does not wish to support this optimization (e.g. due to security, transactions, etc). The method must return null if the servant is not of the expected type.

public ServantObject servant_preinvoke(org.omg.CORBA.Object self, String operation, Class expectedType) { return null; }
servant_postinvoke() is invoked by the local stub after the operation has been invoked on the local servant. This method must be called if servant_preinvoke() returned a non-null value, even if an exception was thrown by the servant's method. For this reason, the call to servant_postinvoke() should be placed in a Java finally clause.
Params:
  • self – The object reference which delegated to this delegate.
  • servant – the instance of the ServantObject returned from the servant_preinvoke() method.
/** * servant_postinvoke() is invoked by the local stub after the operation * has been invoked on the local servant. * This method must be called if servant_preinvoke() returned a non-null * value, even if an exception was thrown by the servant's method. * For this reason, the call to servant_postinvoke() should be placed * in a Java finally clause. * * @param self The object reference which delegated to this delegate. * * @param servant the instance of the ServantObject returned from * the servant_preinvoke() method. */

request is 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).
Params:
  • self – The object reference which delegated to this delegate.
  • operation – a string containing the operation name. The operation name corresponds to the operation name as it would be encoded in a GIOP request.
  • responseExpected – false if the operation is a one way operation, and true otherwise.
See Also:
Returns:OutputStream the OutputStream into which request arguments can be marshaled.

invoke is called by a stub 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.
Params:
  • self – The object reference which delegated to this delegate.
  • output – the OutputStream which contains marshaled arguments
Throws:
  • ApplicationException – thrown when implementation throws (upon invocation) an exception defined as part of its remote method definition.
  • RemarshalException – thrown when remarshalling fails.
See Also:
Returns:input the InputStream from which reply parameters can be unmarshaled.

public InputStream invoke(org.omg.CORBA.Object self, OutputStream output) throws ApplicationException, RemarshalException { throw new org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT(); }
releaseReply 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 noop.
Params:
  • self – The object reference which delegated to this delegate.
  • input – the InputStream returned from invoke().

Provides the implementation to override the equals(java.lang.Object obj) method of the delegating CORBA object.
Params:

  • obj – the Object with which to compare
Returns:true if obj equals self; false otherwise
