Package Summary Overview Summary

class:CodecOperations [NONE]

All Known Subinterfaces:

Codec
```
public interface CodecOperations
```
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" ) .

method:encode(org.omg.CORBA.Any) [NONE]

encode
```
byte[] encode(Any data)
       throws InvalidTypeForEncoding
```
Converts the given any into a byte array based on the encoding format effective for this Codec.

Parameters:

data - The data, in the form of an any, to be encoded into a byte array.

Returns:

A byte array containing the encoded Any. This byte array contains both the TypeCode and the data of the type.

Throws:

InvalidTypeForEncoding - thrown if the type is not valid for the encoding format effective for this Codec.

method:decode(byte[]) [NONE]

decode
```
Any decode(byte[] data)
    throws FormatMismatch
```
Decodes the given byte array into an Any based on the encoding format effective for this Codec.

Parameters:

data - The data, in the form of a byte array, to be decoded into an Any.

Returns:

An Any containing the data from the decoded byte array.

Throws:

FormatMismatch - is thrown if the byte array cannot be decoded into an Any.

method:encode_value(org.omg.CORBA.Any) [NONE]

encode_value
```
byte[] encode_value(Any data)
             throws InvalidTypeForEncoding
```
Converts the given any into a byte array based on the encoding format effective for this Codec. Only the data from the Any is encoded, not the TypeCode.

Parameters:

data - The data, in the form of an Any, to be encoded into a byte array.

Returns:

A byte array containing the data from the encoded any.

Throws:

InvalidTypeForEncoding - thrown if the type is not valid for the encoding format effective for this Codec.

method:decode_value(byte[], org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode) [NONE]

decode_value
```
Any decode_value(byte[] data,
                 TypeCode tc)
          throws FormatMismatch,
                 TypeMismatch
```
Decodes the given byte array into an Any based on the given TypeCode and the encoding format effective for this Codec.

Parameters:

data - The data, in the form of a byte array, to be decoded into an Any.

tc - The TypeCode to be used to decode the data.

Returns:

An Any containing the data from the decoded byte array.

Throws:

FormatMismatch - thrown if the byte array cannot be decoded into an Any.
