JAV2I12 — Mapping CORBA minor codes to Java

Section 1.4.8 of the Java to IDL mapping spec says that when mapping
CORBA system exceptions to RMI exceptions, the minor code is formatted
as a decimal number. This is a readability issue for both OMG standard
minor codes and vendor-specific minor codes. For example, the OMG
standard minor code 0x4f4d0001 would be formatted as 1330446337 and a
vendor proprietary minor code 0xc9c25401 would be formatted as 3384955905
(or -910011391 if using signed 32-bit arithmetic).

Proposed resolution:

In section 1.4.8, change the fourth bullet to:
• followed by the hexadecimal value of the system exception’s minor code

In the following paragraph, change the example detail string to:
“CORBA UNKNOWN 0x31 Maybe”
