  • Summary:

    Summary: In Chapter 25 (IDL/Java) of CORBA V2.3-1.3 (Aug 1998), section 25.5.1,
    "Constants Within An Interface", the text says "Constants declared
    within an IDL interface are mapped to fields in the Java interface
    corresponding to the IDL interface".

    The problem is that there are now two Java interfaces produced for an IDL
    interface, the Operations interface and the Signature interface.

    The current client programming model for accessing constants within
    an interface is to say "t.c" (instead of "tOperations.c").

    Therefore, in order to avoid changing the client programming mode,
    I propose that section 25.5.1 be revised to say that constants within
    an IDL interface "are mapped to fields in the Java signature interface..."
