public abstract class NVList extends Object
NamedValue objects.
 
 The class NVList is used as follows:
 
Request object
 in the Dynamic Invocation Interface and
 the Dynamic Skeleton Interface
 Context object
 
 Each NamedValue object consists of the following:
 
String object
 Any object
 
 An NVList object
 may be created using one of the following
 ORB methods:
 
org.omg.CORBA.ORB.create_list
 
    org.omg.CORBA.NVList nv = orb.create_list(3);
 
 The variable nv represents a newly-created
 NVList object.  The argument is a memory-management
 hint to the orb and does not imply the actual length of the list.
 If, for example, you want to use an NVList object
 in a request, and the method being invoked takes three parameters,
 you might optimize by supplying 3 to the method
 create_list.  Note that the new NVList
 will not necessarily have a length of 3; it
 could have a length of 2 or 4, for instance.
 Note also that you can add any number of
 NamedValue objects to this list regardless of
 its original length.
 
org.omg.CORBA.ORB.create_operation_list
 
    org.omg.CORBA.NVList nv = orb.create_operation_list(myOperationDef);
 
 The variable nv represents a newly-created
 NVList object that contains descriptions of the
 arguments to the method described in the given
 OperationDef object.
 
 The methods in the class NVList all deal with
 the NamedValue objects in the list.
 There are three methods for adding a NamedValue object,
 a method for getting the count of NamedValue objects in
 the list, a method for retrieving a NamedValue object
 at a given index, and a method for removing a NamedValue object
 at a given index.
