## Class DefinitionKind

- java.lang.Object
- - org.omg.CORBA.DefinitionKind

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, IDLEntity

      public class DefinitionKind
      extends Object
      implements IDLEntity

  The class that provides the constants used to identify the type of an Interface Repository object. This class contains two kinds of constants, those that are an `int` and those that are an instance of the class `DefinitionKind`. This class provides the method `from_int`, which given one of the `int` constants, creates the corresponding `DefinitionKind` instance. It also provides the method `value`, which returns the `int` constant that is the value for a `DefinitionKind` instance.
