[jacorb-developer] issue about customer exception propagation over iiop

[Chao Wang]

Hello, Nick

Thanks for your reply.

Actually my case is a test issue for JBoss EAP5 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBPAPP-9891 As I saw your name in JacORB 
Authors and Contributors list marked as (Red Hat) ORB Core, I think you 
can access to this public jira link, In case you don't have EAP source 
test code in hand or can't access to jenkins site. I have another small 
test can produce similar error (see zip file in attachment).

There is a "readme.txt" to explain more details.

The point I suspect is that out.write_value() process of 
com.ibm.rmi.iiop.CDROutputStream, it looks like the variable defined of 
an user exception can't be proper written to the stream, and when it 
reads back, we have a wrong value.

I also test this with an openjdk-1.7.0.3 and a oracle jdk1.7, and test 
can pass without any problem, to run with openjdk, we have to switch 
CDROutputStream type to com.sun.corba.se.impl.encoding.CDROutputStream 
in the code.

Any your advice or guide could be helpful.

Please let me know if you have any trouble to run the test.

Best regards,

Chao
