I2JAV12 — Default UnknownException behavior

Open Closed All
  • Key: I2JAV12-12
  • Legacy Issue Number: 5465
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( Andrew Piper)
  • Summary:

    On page 133, bullet 3 reads:

    • If the CORBA system exception org.omg.CORBA.portable.UnknownException
    is thrown, then the stub does one of the following:
    • Translates it to org.omg.CORBA.UNKNOWN.
    • Translates it to the nested exception that the UnknownException contains.
    • Passes it on directly to the user.

    It is unfortunate that there is no recommended default since for RMI-IIOP at least, option (2) is by far to be preferred. I would like to change it therefore to add the text:

    "In order to preserve RMI semantics ORBs implementing the RMI-IIOP protocol should always translate it to the nested exception that the UnknownException contains"
