Class StringHolder

public final class StringHolder extends Object implements Streamable

A holder for CORBA string that is mapped into java String. 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.
