                               java.net.UnknownHostException

Constructs a FeatureClassDescription using ArcGIS Engine.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there are interop problems

FeatureClassDescription

public FeatureClassDescription(java.lang.Object obj)
                        throws java.io.IOException

Deprecated. As of ArcGIS 9.2, replaced by normal Java casts.

Construct a FeatureClassDescription using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to FeatureClassDescription.
