Class CharHolder

public final class CharHolder extends Object implements Streamable

A holder for CORBA char that is mapped into java char. The holders have several application areas. The end user usually sees them implementing CORBA methods where the primitive type is passed by reference. While CORBA (or, for example, C) supports this, the java does not and a wrapper class is required.
