/**

* "Generated Files: Holder Files"</a>.<P>
* FixedHolder is a container class for values of IDL type "fixed",
* which is mapped to the Java class java.math.BigDecimal.
* It is usually used to store "out" and "inout" IDL method parameters.
* If an IDL method signature has a fixed as an "out" or "inout" parameter,
* the programmer must pass an instance of FixedHolder as the corresponding
* parameter in the method invocation; for "inout" parameters, the programmer
* must also fill the "in" value to be sent to the server.
* Before the method invocation returns, the ORB will fill in the contained
* value corresponding to the "out" value returned from the server.
