CORBA IDL metamodel classes are provided to support the definition of CORBA data types that cannot be represented simply as
instances of the IDLType class. This group of types includes all CORBA structured and array-like data types as well as those
that also derive from the types defined in the CWM Foundation’s Data Types conceptual area.
19.3.4.1 Alias
The Alias type represents CORBA IDL type aliases. Aliases must be represented by their own type so that they can have a typeCode
attribute as required by the CORBA IDL definition.
Superclasses
IDLType
TypeAlias
19.3.4.2 ArrayType
The ArrayType class represents CORBA IDL array data types.
Superclasses
IDLType
Attributes
length
The number of elements in the array. Multiply dimensioned arrays are treated as arrays of array in CORBA IDL.
type: Integer
multiplicity: exactly one
References
elementType
The type of elements of an array.

19.3.4.3 EnumType
The EnumType class represents the CORBA IDL enumerated data type, enum.
Superclasses
IDLType Enumeration
19.3.4.4 ExceptionType
The ExceptionType class represents the CORBA IDL exception data type.
Superclasses
IDLType
19.3.4.5 FixedType
The FixedType class represent CORBA IDL fixed data types.
Superclasses
IDLType
Attributes
digits
Number of digits of precision. type: Integer multiplicity: exactly one
scale
Number of implied decimal places. Scale may be either positive (implied left decimal places) or negative (implied right decimal
places). type: Integer multiplicity: zero or more
19.3.4.6 IDLType
The IDLType class is a common superclass for all CORBA IDL data type classes that require a typeCode.
Superclasses
DataType
Attributes
typeCode
The type code value identifying a CORBA IDL data type.type: TypeCodemultiplicity: exactly one
19.3.4.7 SequenceType
The SequenceType class represents CORBA IDL sequence data types. Sequences are single dimensioned arrays of a user-specified
type.
Superclasses
IDLType
Attributes
length
The number of elements in the sequence expressed in type units.type: Integermultiplicity: exactly one
References
elementType
The type of elements of a sequence.

19.3.4.8 StringType
The StringType class represents CORBA IDL string data types.
Superclasses
IDLType
Attributes
length
The number of characters in the string. If length is zero, the string is considered unbounded. type: Integer multiplicity:
exactly one
19.3.4.9 StructType
The StructType class represents CORBA IDL user -defined data types created with the typedef keyword.
Superclasses
IDLType
19.3.4.10 UnionType
The UnionType class represents CORBA IDL union data types.
Superclasses
IDLType Union
19.3.4.11 WstringType
The WstringType class represents CORBA IDL wstring data types. A CORBA wstring is an ordered sequence of wchars, each of which
represents a ‘wide’ character from any character set.
Superclasses
IDLType
Attributes
length
The number of wchars in the string. If length is zero, the string is considered unbounded. type: Integer multiplicity: exactly
one
