No. But apart from "type safety" (if you mean C++), try using static
final ints for the purpose.
(The IDL to Java mapping has an alternative typesafe but more
voluminous approach; if you want that, try writing e.g.
module myPackage {
enum colour { red, green, blue };
}
in an IDL file, and compile it using idlj.
)
