# JIDLArray

## Declaration

public class JIDLArray implements java.io.Serializable

java.lang.Object

|

+--com.idl.javaidl.JIDLArray

## All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

## Description

The JIDLArray class wraps a Java array as an object usable by the Java-IDL Export bridge.

Wraps arrays of type boolean, byte, char, short, int, long, float, double, String, and JIDLObjectI.

When retrieving the object, the calling code must cast the Object wrapped by JIDLArray to the proper * array type. For example:

int[] myNativeArray = ...;

// Create a wrapped array so it may be used in the bridge

JIDLArray arr = new JIDLArray(myNativeArray)

// ... do something in the bridge to modify the array ...

// Now cast the resultant array to the expected type

int[] newNative = (int[])arr.arrayValue();
