Summary:
Section 1.17.11 of ptc/2000-01-02 says that DataInputStream &
DataOutputStream are mapped according to the normal valuetype mappings.
This mapping results in operations that are at best cumbersome to use in
marshalling sequences of primitive types:Operations read_xxx_array and write_xxx_array are defined, taking argments
of type CORBA::xxxSeq. These are obviously intended to be sufficient for
marshalling all defined sequences of the corresponding primitive type xxx.However, the c++ mapping for sequences requires that each distinctly
declared sequence type be unique and separately overloadable. This
guarantees that a marshaller attempting to marshal an sequence of primitive
other than CORBA::xxxSeq will not be able to pass that sequence to the
corresponding read_xxx_array and write_xxx_array operations. Instead, code
must be written to bypass strict typing.To fix this, either the mappings for DataInputStream and DataOutputStream
need to be non-standard, the mapping of sequences needs to change, or the
mapping of CORBA::xxxSeq needs to change to something special. -
