I2JAV11 — How can org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream.read_fixed possibly work?

Open Closed All
  • Key: I2JAV11-123
  • Legacy Issue Number: 3686
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: SAP SE ( Evan Ireland)
  • Summary:

    If you look at the signature of org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream.read_fixed,
    you will see that it does not accept parameters for the fixed digits and scale.
    Since the GIOP CDR encoding for fixed-point decimals does not include meta-data
    on the wire (e.g. the scale is not explicit in the wire-encoding), how can the
    Java portable InputStream's read_fixed method reliably determine the scale of
    the value being read? Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe the mapping spec is
    just plain broken. Can someone please shed some light on this.
