## org.omg.CORBA
Class FixedHolder

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--org.omg.CORBA.FixedHolder

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Streamable

public final class FixedHolder
extends Object
implements Streamable

FixedHolder is a container class for values of IDL type "fixed", which is mapped to the Java class java.math.BigDecimal. It is usually used to store "out" and "inout" IDL method parameters. If an IDL method signature has a fixed as an "out" or "inout" parameter, the programmer must pass an instance of FixedHolder as the corresponding parameter in the method invocation; for "inout" parameters, the programmer must also fill the "in" value to be sent to the server. Before the method invocation returns, the ORB will fill in the contained value corresponding to the "out" value returned from the server.

Field Summary
`BigDecimal` | `value` The value held by the FixedHolder

Constructor Summary
`FixedHolder()` Construct the FixedHolder without initializing the contained value.
`FixedHolder(BigDecimal initial)` Construct the FixedHolder and initialize it with the given value.

Method Summary
`void` | `_read(InputStream input)` Read a fixed point value from the input stream and store it in the value member.
`TypeCode` | `_type()` Return the `TypeCode` of this holder object.
`void` | `_write(OutputStream output)` Write the fixed point value stored in this holder to an `OutputStream`.
