Class BaseTypeHelper

java.lang.Object

com.addc.commons.iiop.BaseTypeHelper

public final class BaseTypeHelper
extends Object

The BaseTypeHelper supplies methods for translating between IIOP and Java byte arrays and strings. As IIOP does not allow passing null values these are covered by using the string "null" to represent a null String and sending an empty byte array for a null byte array to cover an empty byte array all byte arrays except a null one have 0 inserted at the index 0.
