  1. OMG Issue

I2JAV11 — policy_type should map to a Java int.

Open Closed All
  • Key: I2JAV11-129
  • Legacy Issue Number: 3801
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( Max Mortazavi)
  • Summary:

    It appears that there's an error in the OMG specification ptc/00-01-08
    OMG IDL to Java Language Mapping. In the mapping for ORB as given in the
    org.omg.CORBA.ORB in section 1.19.10, the IDL signature

    Policy create_policy(
    in PolicyType type,
    in any val
    ) raises (PolicyError);

    has been mapped to

    public Policy create_policy(short policy_type, Any val)
    throws org.omg.CORBA.PolicyError

    However, note that in formal/99-10-07, as in elsewhere, it's clearly
    stated that PolicyType is unsigned long

    4.9.1 Definition of Policy Object

    typedef unsigned long PolicyType;
    // Basic IDL definition
    interface Policy

    { readonly attribute PolicyType policy_type; Policy copy(); void destroy(); }

    ;

    and that the Java mapping for unsigned long is an "int" not a
    "short," as erroneously implied in 1.19.10 of ptc/00-01-08.

    I believe this is an error in the ptc/00-01-08 OMG IDL to Java Language
    Mapping that needs to be cleared.
