/**
 * ValueBase is the basic interface for all CORBA value data types. A value
 * type is something between CORBA structure and CORBA object. Like CORBA
 * object, it can have methods, supporting some IDL-defined interface.
 * However, like structures, they are local and passed by value,
 * not by IOR reference.
 *
 * Unlike CORBA objects, values are not connected to any ORB by
 * default; they hanlde the implemented functionality locally. The classes,
 * required to implement that functionality, should either be pre-defined
 * or they can be downloaded from the certain URL, defined as CodeBase.
 *
 * The value types can have both public and private members. They support
 * inheritance. Value types can also be abstract.
 *
 * For transferring the value type data via stream, it must implement either
 * {@link CustomValue} or {@link StreamableValue}.
 *
 * @since 1.3
