All Implemented Interfaces:
  Container, ContainerOperations, IDLEntity, IRObject, IRObjectOperations, Object, java.io.Serializable

public class _ContainerStub
extends ObjectImpl
implements Container

The base interface Container is used to form a containment hierarchy in the Interface Repository. A Container can contain any number of objects derived from the Contained interface. All Containers, except for Repository, are also derived from Contained.

Constructor Detail

### _ContainerStub

    public _ContainerStub()

Method Detail

### _ids

    public java.lang.String[] _ids()

  Overrides:
    `_ids` in class `ObjectImpl`

### lookup

    public Contained lookup(java.lang.String search_name)

  Operation lookup
  Specified by:
    `lookup` in interface `ContainerOperations`

### contents

    public Contained[] contents(DefinitionKind limit_type,
                                boolean exclude_inherited)

  Operation contents
  Specified by:
    `contents` in interface `ContainerOperations`
  Following copied from interface: `org.omg.CORBA.ContainerOperations`
  Parameters:
    `limit_type` - If limit_type is set to dk_all "all", objects of all interface types are returned. For example, if this is an InterfaceDef, the attribute, operation, and exception objects are all returned. If limit_type is set to a specific interface, only objects of that interface type are returned. For example, only attribute objects are returned if limit_type is set to dk_Attribute "AttributeDef".
    `exclude_inherited` - If set to TRUE, inherited objects (if there are any) are not returned. If set to FALSE, all contained objects,whether contained due to inheritance or because they were defined within the object,are returned.

### lookup_name

    public Contained[] lookup_name(java.lang.String search_name,
                                   int levels_to_search,
                                   DefinitionKind limit_type,
                                   boolean exclude_inherited)

  Operation lookup_name
  Specified by:
    `lookup_name` in interface `ContainerOperations`
  Following copied from interface: `org.omg.CORBA.ContainerOperations`
  Parameters:
    `search_name` - Specified which name is to be searched for.
    `levels_to_search` - Controls whether the lookup is constrained to the object the operation is invoked on or whether it should search through objects contained by the object as well.
    `limit_type` - If limit_type is set to dk_all "all", objects of all interface types are returned. For example, if this is an InterfaceDef, the attribute, operation, and exception objects are all returned. If limit_type is set to a specific interface, only objects of that interface type are returned. For example, only attribute objects are returned if limit_type is set to dk_Attribute "AttributeDef".
    `exclude_inherited` - If set to TRUE, inherited objects (if there are any) are not returned. If set to FALSE, all contained objects,whether contained due to inheritance or because they were defined within the object,are returned.

### describe_contents

    public Description[] describe_contents(DefinitionKind limit_type,
                                           boolean exclude_inherited,
                                           int max_returned_objs)

  Operation describe_contents
  Specified by:
    `describe_contents` in interface `ContainerOperations`
  Following copied from interface: `org.omg.CORBA.ContainerOperations`
  Parameters:
    `limit_type` - If limit_type is set to dk_all "all", objects of all interface types are returned. For example, if this is an InterfaceDef, the attribute, operation, and exception objects are all returned. If limit_type is set to a specific interface, only objects of that interface type are returned. For example, only attribute objects are returned if limit_type is set to dk_Attribute "AttributeDef".
    `exclude_inherited` - If set to TRUE, inherited objects (if there are any) are not returned. If set to FALSE, all contained objects,whether contained due to inheritance or because they were defined within the object,are returned.
    `max_returned_objs` - max_returned_objs Limits the number of objects that can be returned in an invocation of the call to the number provided. Setting the parameter to -1 means return all contained objects.
