The formats of IOR components and service context data used by ORB 
services are often defined as CDR encapsulations encoding instances 
of IDL defined data types. The Codec provides a mechanism 
to transfer these components between their IDL data types and their CDR 
encapsulation representations. 


A Codec is obtained from the CodecFactory. 
The CodecFactory is obtained through a call to 
ORB.resolve_initial_references( "CodecFactory" ).

Converts the given any into a byte array based on the encoding 
format effective for this Codec. 

Params:
  • data – The data, in the form of an any, to be encoded into 
    a byte array.
Throws:
  • InvalidTypeForEncoding – thrown if the type is not valid for 
    the encoding format effective for this Codec.
Returns:A byte array containing the encoded Any. This byte array 
    contains both the TypeCode and the data of the type.

Throws:

Decodes the given byte array into an Any based on the given

Params:
  • data – The data, in the form of a byte array, to be decoded
