| Provides support for the marshalling of value types. Value type |
| marshalling may require access to an implementation of the value type or |
| to meta information about the value type. This information is passed |
| between the sending context and the receiving context using a particular |
| service context containing an instance of the |
| <code>SendingContext.RunTime</code> interface. |
| <P> |
| A sending context may be either the client side or the server side of |
| an invocation, depending on which contains a value type. |
| The sending context is the client side of an |
| invocation if the request contains a value type. It is the server side |
| if the reply contains a value type. The other party in the communication |
| is the receiving context. |
| <P> |
| The service context marshalled for <code>SendingContext</code> |
| consists of an encapsulated IOR for the <code>SendingContext.RunTime</code> |
| interface. <code>RunTime</code> is just a marker |
| interface defined to allow extensibility in the future. There is |
| currently only one subinterface of <code>RunTime</code> defined: |
| the <code>SendingContext.CodeBase</code> interface. |
| The interface <code>CodeBase</code> defines operations to obtain code URLs |
| and meta-information about a value type received from the sending |
| context. |
| <P> |
| Note that these classes are currently defined in the |
| <code>com.sun.org.omg.SendingContext</code> |
| package rather than in the package <code>org.omg.SendingContext</code>. |
| This has been done to avoid including large parts of the interface |
| repository in the JDK core, since the interface repository is still |
| evolving in response to the needs of the CORBA Components work. |
