public interface IDLTypeOperations
extends IRObjectOperations

The IDLType interface is defined as a marker interface used to mark those Repository Objects that form IDL types. For example, EnumDef inherits from IDLType because it represents the IDL type construct, but OperationDef does not, because it is the regular Repository object and not IDL type. Every IDLType object has an associated TypeCode. The TypeCode uniquely identifies the object's type.
