HOWTO QUESTION: inout sequences from client

Question

Does anyone understand how to handle inout sequences in Java. I have to call a CORBA server method that accepts an inout sequence of structures. I can invoke the method, but how do I access the return values?

Answer 1

As far as I understand this topic, this is the task of
the holder objects. For example, if you have a method
in IDL
void foo(inout MyObject obj);
It will be converted to Java
void foo(MyObjectHolder obj);
You would use it by invoking
MyObject obj = new MyObject();
MyObjectHolder objHolder = new
new MyObjectHolder(obj);
myXYServer.foo(objHolder);
// now do something with obj
objHolder.value.doSomething()
I believe the question is to manipulate the inout variable. An 'inout' is a variable that originate from the
client, but can be altered by the server and sent back to the client
struct inItem
     string key;
     string value;
}; // inItem
struct outItem
     string key;
     string value;
}; // outItem
struct inoutItem
     string key;
     string value;
}; // outItem
typedef sequence <inoutItem> inoutResponse;
interface InfoRoamServer
     long processData(in Intype inreq, out outType, inout inoutResponse response);
The java code generated should include Helper and Holder for each of the struct, use them to
set/get data from response object
If we initialize
inoutResponseHolder response = new inoutResponseHolder();
Set value
response.value =...
to get Value
= response.value ;
