Value type 35 marshalling may require access to an implementation of the value type or 36 to meta information about the value type. This information is passed 37 between the sending context and the receiving context using a particular 38 service context containing an instance of the 39 <code>SendingContext.RunTime</code> interface. 40 <P> 41 A sending context may be either the client side or the server side of 42 an invocation, depending on which contains a value type. 43 The sending context is the client side of an 44 invocation if the request contains a value type. It is the server side 45 if the reply contains a value type. The other party in the communication 46 is the receiving context. 47 <P> 48 The service context marshalled for <code>SendingContext</code> 49 consists of an encapsulated IOR for the <code>SendingContext.RunTime</code> 50 interface. <code>RunTime</code> is just a marker 51 interface defined to allow extensibility in the future. There is 52 currently only one subinterface of <code>RunTime</code> defined: 53 the <code>SendingContext.CodeBase</code> interface. 54 The interface <code>CodeBase</code> defines operations to obtain code URLs 55 and meta-information about a value type received from the sending 56 context. 57 <P> 58 Note that these classes are currently defined in the 59 <code>com.sun.org.omg.SendingContext</code> 60 package rather than in the package <code>org.omg.SendingContext</code>. 61 This has been done to avoid including large parts of the interface 62 repository in the JDK core, since the interface repository is still 63 evolving in response to the needs of the CORBA Components work. 64 65 <H3>Package Specification</H3> 66 67 <P>For a precise list of supported sections of official specifications with which 68 the Java[tm] Platform, Standard Edition 6 ORB complies, see <A 69 HREF="../CORBA/doc-files/compliance.html">Official Specifications for CORBA 70 support in Java[tm] SE 6</A>. 71 72 @since 1.3 73 <br> 74 @serial exclude 75 </body> 76 </html>
