# Mapping Pseudo-Objects to Java | # 6 |

## 6.1 Introduction

Pseudo objects are constructs whose definition is usually specified in "IDL", but whose mapping is language specified. A pseudo object is not (usually) a regular CORBA object. Often it exposed to either clients and/or servers as a process, or a thread local, programming language construct.

For each of the standard IDL pseudo-objects we either specify a specific Java language construct or we specify it as a pseudo interface.

This mapping is based on the revised version 1.1 C++ mapping.

We have chosen the option allowed in the IDL specification section 4.1.3 to define Status as void and have eliminated it for the convenience of Java programmers.

### 6.1.1 Pseudo Interface

The use of pseudo interface is a convenient device which means that most of the standard language mapping rules defined in this specification may be mechanically used to generate the Java. However, in general the resulting construct is not a CORBA object. Specifically it is:

- not represented in the Interface Repository

- no helper classes are generated

- no holder classes are generated

- mapped to a Java `public abstract` `class` that does not extend or inherit from any other classes or interfaces

Note: The specific definition given for each piece of PIDL may override the general guidelines above. In such a case, the specific definition takes precedence.

All of the pseudo interfaces are mapped as if they were declared in:

    module org {

    	module omg {

    		module CORBA {

    								...

That is, they are mapped to the `org.omg.CORBA` Java package.

## 6.2 Certain Exceptions

The standard CORBA PIDL uses several exceptions, Bounds, BadKind, and InvalidName.

No holder and helper classes are defined for these exceptions, nor are they in the interface repository., However so that users can treat them as "normal exceptions" for programming purposes, they are mapped as normal user exceptions.

They are defined within the scopes that they are used. A Bounds and BadKind exception are defined in the `TypeCodePackage` for use by TypeCode. A Bounds exception is defined in the standard CORBA module for use by NVList, ExceptionList, and ContextList. An InvalidName exception is defined in the `ORBPackage` for use by ORB.

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    final public class Bounds

` `

    	extends org.omg.CORBA.UserException {

` `

    	public Bounds() {...}

` `

    }

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA.TypeCodePackage;

` `

    final public class Bounds

` `

    	extends org.omg.CORBA.UserException {

` `

    	public Bounds() {...}

` `

    }

` `

    final public class BadKind

` `

    	extends org.omg.CORBA.UserException {

` `

    	public BadKind() {...}

` `

    }

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage;

` `

    final public class InvalidName

` `

    	extends org.omg.CORBA.UserException {

` `

    	public InvalidName() {...}

` `

    }

` `

`

## 6.3 Environment

The Environment is used in request operations to make exception information available.

`

    // Java code

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public abstract class Environment {

` `

    	void exception(java.lang.Exception except);

` `

    	java.lang.Exception exception();

` `

    	void clear();

` `

    }

`

## 6.4 NamedValue

A NamedValue describes a name, value pair. It is used in the DII to describe arguments and return values, and in the context routines to pass property, value pairs.

In Java it includes a name, a value (as an any), and an integer representing a set of flags.

    typedef unsigned long Flags;

    typedef string Identifier;

    const Flags ARG_IN = 1;

    const Flags ARG_OUT = 2;

    const Flags ARG_INOUT = 3;

    const Flags CTX_RESTRICT_SCOPE = 15;

    pseudo interface NamedValue {

    	readonly attribute Identifier name;

    	readonly attribute any value;

    	readonly attribute Flags flags;

    };

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public interface ARG_IN {

` `

    	public static final int value = 1;

` `

    }

` `

    public interface ARG_OUT {

` `

    	public static final int value = 2;

` `

    }

` `

    public interface ARG_INOUT {

` `

    	public static final int value = 3;

` `

    }

` `

    public interface CTX_RESTRICT_SCOPE {

` `

    	public static final int value = 15;

` `

    }

` `

    public abstract class NamedValue {

` `

    	public abstract String name();

` `

    	public abstract Any value();

` `

    	public abstract int flags();

` `

    }

` `

`

## 6.5 NVList

A NVList is used in the DII to describe arguments, and in the context routines to describe context values.

In Java it maintains a modifiable list of NamedValues.

    pseudo interface NVList {

    	readonly attribute unsigned long count;

    	NamedValue add(in Flags flags);

    	NamedValue add_item(in Identifier item_name, in Flags flags);

    	NamedValue add_value(in Identifier item_name,

    							 in any val,

    							 in Flags flags);

    	NamedValue item(in unsigned long index) raises (CORBA::Bounds);

    	void remove(in unsigned long index) raises (CORBA::Bounds);

    };

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public abstract class NVList {

` `

    	public abstract int count();

` `

    	public abstract NamedValue add(int flags);

` `

    	public abstract NamedValue add_item(String item_name, int flags);

` `

    	public abstract NamedValue add_value(String item_name, Any val,

` `

    								int flags);

` `

    	public abstract NamedValue item(int index)

` `

    					throws org.omg.CORBA.Bounds;

` `

    	public abstract void remove(int index) throws org.omg.CORBA.Bounds;

` `

    }

`

## 6.6 ExceptionList

An ExceptionList is used in the DII to describe the exceptions that can be raised by IDL operations.

It maintains a list of modifiable list of TypeCodes.

    pseudo interface ExceptionList {

    	readonly attribute unsigned long count;

    	void add(in TypeCode exc);

    	TypeCode item (in unsigned long index) raises (CORBA::Bounds);

    	void remove (in unsigned long index) raises (CORBA::Bounds);

    };

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public abstract class ExceptionList {

` `

    	public abstract int count();

` `

    	public abstract void add(TypeCode exc);

` `

    	public abstract TypeCode item(int index)

` `

    				throws org.omg.CORBA.Bounds;

` `

    	public abstract void remove(int index)

` `

    				throws org.omg.CORBA.Bounds;

` `

    }

`

## 6.7 Context

A Context is used in the DII to specify a context in which context strings must be resolved before being sent along with the request invocation.

    pseudo interface Context {

    	readonly attribute Identifier context_name;

    	readonly attribute Context parent;

    	Context create_child(in Identifier child_ctx_name);

    	void set_one_value(in Identifier propname, in any propvalue);

    	void set_values(in NVList values);

    	void delete_values(in Identifier propname);

    	NVList get_values(in Identifier start_scope,

    					     in Flags op_flags,

    					     in Identifier pattern);

    };

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public abstract class Context {

` `

    	public abstract String context_name();

` `

    	public abstract Context parent();

` `

    	public abstract Context create_child(String child_ctx_name);

` `

    	public abstract void set_one_value(String propname,

` `

    						Any propvalue);

` `

    	public abstract void set_values(NVList values);

` `

    	public abstract void delete_values(String propname);

` `

    	public abstract NVList get_values(String start_scpe, int op_flags,

` `

    						String pattern);

` `

    }

`

## 6.8 ContextList

    pseudo interface ContextList {

    	readonly attribute unsigned long count;

    	void add(in string ctx);

    	string item(in unsigned long index) raises (CORBA::Bounds);

    	void remove(in unsigned long index) raises (CORBA::Bounds);

    };

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public abstract class ContextList {

` `

    	public abstract int count();

` `

    	public abstract void add(String ctx);

` `

    	public abstract String item(int index)

` `

    		throws org.omg.CORBA.Bounds;

` `

    	public abstract void remove(int index)

` `

    		throws org.omg.CORBA.Bounds;

` `

    }

`

## 6.9 Request

    pseudo interface Request {

    	readonly attribute Object target;

    	readonly attribute Identifier operation;

    	readonly attribute NVList arguments;

    	readonly attribute NamedValue result;

    	readonly attribute Environment env;

    	readonly attribute ExceptionList exceptions;

    	readonly attribute ContextList contexts;

    	attribute Context ctx;

    	any add_in_arg();

    	any add_named_in_arg(in string name);

    	any add_inout_arg();

    	any add_named_inout_arg(in string name);

    	any add_out_arg();

    	any add_named_out_arg(in string name);

    	void set_return_type(in TypeCode tc);

    	any return_value();

    	void invoke();

    	void send_oneway();

    	void send_deferred();

    	void get_response();

    	boolean poll_response();

    };

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public abstract class Request {

` `

    	public abstract Object target();

` `

    	public abstract String operation();

` `

    	public abstract NVList arguments();

` `

    	public abstract NamedValue result();

` `

    	public abstract Environment env();

` `

    	public abstract ExceptionList exceptions();

` `

    	public abstract ContextList contexts();

` `

    	public abstract Context ctx();

` `

    	public abstract void ctx(Context c);

` `

    	public abstract Any add_in_arg();

` `

    	public abstract Any add_named_in_arg(String name);

` `

    	public abstract Any add_inout_arg();

` `

    	public abstract Any add_named_inout_arg(String name);

` `

    	public abstract Any add_out_arg();

` `

    	public abstract Any add_named_out_arg(String name);

` `

    	public abstract void set_return_type(TypeCode tc);

` `

    	public abstract Any return_value();

` `

    	public abstract void invoke();

` `

    	public abstract void send_oneway();

` `

    	public abstract void send_deferred();

` `

    	public abstract void get_response();

` `

    	public abstract boolean poll_response();

` `

    }

`

## 6.10 ServerRequest and Dynamic Implementation

    pseudo interface ServerRequest {

    	Identifier op_name();

    	Context ctx();

    	void params(in NVList parms);

    	void result(in Any res);

    	void   except(in Any ex);

    } ;

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public abstract class ServerRequest {

` `

    	public abstract String op_name();

` `

    	public abstract Context ctx();

` `

    	public abstract void params(NVList parms);

` `

    	public abstract void result(Any a);

` `

    	public abstract void except(Any a);

` The `DynamicImplementation` interface defines the interface such a dynamic server is expect to implement. Note that it inherits from the base class for stubs and skeletons (see Section 8.5.2, "Portable ObjectImpl").

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public abstract class DynamicImplementation

` `

    		extends org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl {

` `

    	public abstract void invoke(org.omg.CORBA.ServerRequest request);

` `

    }

`

## 6.11 TypeCode

## 6.12 ORB

> Issue - create_named_value() is incorrect in the CORBA spec. We have used the correct definition here. It is indicated as a change to CORBA 2.0

The UnionMemeberSeq, EnumMemberSeq, and StructMemberSeq typedefs are real IDL and bring in the Interface Repository. Rather than tediously list its interfaces, and other assorted types, suffice it to say that it is all mapped following the rules for IDL set forth in this specification in Chapter 5, "Mapping IDL to Java".

## 6.13 CORBA::Object

The IDL Object type is mapped to the `org.omg.CORBA.Object and org.omg.CORBA.ObjectHelper` classes as shown below.

The Java interface for each user defined IDL interface extends `org.omg.CORBA.Object`, so that any object reference can be passed anywhere a `org.omg.CORBA.Object` is expected.

`

    // Java

` `

    package org.omg.CORBA;

` `

    public interface Object {

` `

    	boolean _is_a(String Identifier);

` `

    	boolean _is_equivalent(Object that);

` `

    	boolean _non_existent();

` `

    	int _hash(int maximum);

` `

    	org.omg.CORBA.Object _duplicate();

` `

    	void _release();

` `

    	ImplementationDef _get_implementation();

` `

    	InterfaceDef _get_interface();

` `

    	Request _request(String s);

` `

    	Request _create_request(Context ctx,

` `

    				String operation,

` `

    				NVList arg_list,

` `

    				NamedValue result);

` `

    	Request _create_request(Context ctx,

` `

    				String operation,

` `

    				NVList arg_list,

` `

    				NamedValue result,

` `

    				ExceptionList exclist,

` `

    				ContextList ctxlist);

` `

    }

` `

`

## 6.14 Current

    pseudo interface Current {

    }

`

    // Java

` `

    public abstract class Current

` `

    		extends org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl {

` `

    }

`

## 6.15 Principal

    pseudo interface Principal {

    attribute sequence<octet> name;

    }

`

    // Java

` `

    public abstract class Principal {

` `

    	public abstract byte[] name();

` `

    	public abstract void name(byte[] name);

` `

    }

`
