I2JAV11 — section 1.18.2 of the OMG IDL mapping document ptc/00-01-08

There is something that is unclear in your CORBA spec that I think is causing incompatibility problems between various IDL compilers.

Given the following IDL:

------------------------------------------------- struct Protection

;

typedef Protection ProtectedEntity;

typedef sequence<ProtectedEntity> ProtectedEntityList;

typedef ProtectedEntityList ProtectingEntity; -------------------------------------------------

Should a holder class for ProtectingEntity get generated? I ask this because some IDL compilers generate it and others do not (very frustrating!).

In section 1.18.2 of the OMG IDL mapping document ptc/00-01-08 spec I found this: "Holder classes are generated for sequence and array typedefs only. The "unwound" type's Holder class is used for the other cases.".

Since this is a typedef of a typedef, but the original item was a sequence, should the ProtectingEntityHolder.java file get generated or not?
