Native CA:
DBR_LONG types are 32-bit integers, and DBR_INT ==
DBR_SHORT types are 16-bit.
CA does not handle 64-bit integers (natively).
In JCA naming is different. I suspect this was
done intentionally to avoid confusion since long in Java is
64-bit.
DBR_LONG is renamed to DBR_INT in JCA, and
DBR_SHORT == DBR_SHORT.
Note that is just the naming, actual codes (the
protocol) is the same.
I find this more confusing.
JCA interfaces are (a bit) outdated. If you are
looking for a modern CA Java interface check this out:
