I2JAV11 — #pragma prefix issue

Section 1.5.3 of the OMG's IDL Style Guide (ab/98-06-03) indicates that

#pragma prefix "omg.org"

should appear in any IDL file belonging to an OMG-approved
specification. With the use of this prefix, the RepositoryID of a
valuetype V in module M would be

"IDL:omg.org/M/V:1.0"

Section 1.13.8 of the IDL to Java Language Mapping Specification
(formal/99-07-53) specifies the algorithm to be used in determining the
location of a valuetype and its corresponding default factory, where
location is in the Java package sense. If an ORB vendor follows this
algorithm, the default value factory will be assumed to be in the Java
package given by

omg.org.M

Following the Java convention of reversing a domain name to obtain a
package hierarchy, one would expect to have implementation code in

org.omg.M

This mismatch requires users to register default value factories, which
seems to go against the spirit of the second paragraph of section 5.4.3
of the CORBA 2.3.1 Specification (formal/99-10-07) where the term
"implicit registration" is used.

Proposed resolution:

In the IDL to Java language mapping the omg.org prefix is reversed to
org.omg.
