public Value()

Method Details

clone

public Value clone()

Returns a shallow field-for-field copy of this object.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

the cloned object

ice_preMarshal

public void ice_preMarshal()

The Ice runtime calls this method before marshaling a class instance. Subclasses can override this method in order to update or validate their fields before marshaling.

ice_postUnmarshal

public void ice_postUnmarshal()

The Ice runtime calls this method after unmarshaling a class instance. Subclasses can override this method in order to update or validate their fields after unmarshaling.

ice_id

public String ice_id()

Returns the Slice type ID of the most-derived class supported by this object.

Returns:

the Slice type ID

ice_getSlicedData

public SlicedData ice_getSlicedData()

Returns the sliced data associated with this instance.

Returns:

If this value has a preserved-slice base class and has been sliced during unmarshaling, this returns the sliced data; otherwise this returns null.

ice_staticId

public static String ice_staticId()

Returns the Slice type ID of this type.

Returns:

The return value is always "::Ice::Object".
