Hi Stephan,
just got to see your answer, hence my rather late answer:
maybe a very stupid question, still wondering whether constants
wrapped as "Any" were intended. Using reflection via Java the
following constants employ Any (for unsigned long):
What kind of reflection do you mean---Java reflection or UNO
reflection? Please give some example code snippet.
Java reflection, here's the snippet dumping CONSTANTS:
--------------- cut here -------------
static void dumpConstants(XTypeDescription xtd)
{
TypeClass tc=xtd.getTypeClass();
XConstantsTypeDescription xitd = (XConstantsTypeDescription)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XConstantsTypeDescription.class, xtd);
XConstantTypeDescription ximtd [] = xitd.getConstants();
int i2=0;
String type="", name="";
for (i2=0; i2<ximtd.length; i2++)
{
name = getUnqualifiedName(ximtd[i2].getName());
Object rgfConstType = ximtd[i2].getConstantValue();
say("\t\t\t"+i2+": "+name+" - "+ximtd[i2].getConstantValue()
+ " - " + pp(rgfConstType.getClass())
);
}
say("");
}

You are caught in the ANY trap again :)
com.sun.star.reflection.XConstantTypeDescription.getConstantValue()
returns a UNO ANY. com.sun.star.uno.Any is the only representation in
Java for a value of a UNO ANY that contains a value of UNO UNSIGNED
SHORT. For UNO ANY values that contain values of other UNO types, there
are shortcuts (e.g., a UNO ANY value that contains a value of UNO SHORT
can be represented in Java as a value of java.lang.Short), and that
shortcut is routinely taken. That is why in many cases the value
returned by XConstantTypeDescription.getConstantValue in Java is not of
type com.sun.star.uno.Any.
and here's the output for <com.sun.star.sync.SyncOptions>:
--------------- cut here ---------------
0: NONE - Any[Type[unsigned long], 0] - <class
com.sun.star.uno.Any>
1: DONT_COPY - Any[Type[unsigned long], 1] - <class
com.sun.star.uno.Any>
2: DONT_REMOVE - Any[Type[unsigned long], 2] - <class
com.sun.star.uno.Any>
3: SERVER_WINS - Any[Type[unsigned long], 256] - <class
com.sun.star.uno.Any>
4: CLIENT_WINS - Any[Type[unsigned long], 512] - <class
com.sun.star.uno.Any>
5: CREATE_BACKUP - Any[Type[unsigned long], 65536] - <class
com.sun.star.uno.Any>
--------------- cut here ---------------
Dumping the entire module "com.sun.star" the following constants are the
only ones which show up as Any, if I am not mistaken:
* <com.sun.star.sync.SyncOptions>
* <com.sun.star.sync.SyncAction>
* <com.sun.star.sync.SyncType>
* <com.sun.star.sync.SyncMode>
* <com.sun.star.sync.SyncEvent>
* <com.sun.star.corba.iop.ServiceIdGroup>
* <com.sun.star.corba.iop.ProfileIdGroup>
These constant groups have members of UNO type UNSIGNED LONG. They
are represented in Java as final fields of Java type int (and you have
to know that the values have to be interpreted as unsigned when you
use them), no Any involved.
Hmm, I see. However, there are no "int", but "java.lang.Integer" datatypes.
See above. A java.lang.Integer value is used here to represent a UNO
ANY value that contains a UNO LONG value.
There are two constants groups with java.lang.Long:
<com.sun.star.embed.Aspects> and <com.sun.star.embed.EmbedMisc>.
