Mapping for predefined EAServer Manager datatypes

Table 13-1 lists the datatypes in EAServer Manager, the equivalent CORBA IDL types, and the C++ datatypes used in stub methods. You can also define additional types in IDL; when you generate stubs and skeletons, these are translated to C++ types using the standard CORBA IDL to C++ type mappings. For example, The BCD and MJD CORBA IDL modules define types to represent binary data, fixed-point numeric data, dates, and times. For details, see the generated Interface Repository documentation for these IDL modules.
