Issues Descriptions

RMI repository ID references to serial version UID

  • Legacy Issue Number: 4283
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( Everett Anderson)
  • Summary:

    CORBA formal 00-11-03 10.6.2 states

    "If the actual serialization version UID for the Java class differs from
    the hash code, a colon and the actual serialization version UID
    (transcribed as a 16 digit upper-case hex string) shall be appended to
    the RepositoryId after the hash code."

    Please comment on the following assertions. The CORBA spec is vague
    here, and it has resulted in incompatible interpretations which must be
    resolved quickly.

    1) The "actual serialization version UID" mentioned is as defined in
    the Java Object Serialization specification.

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/serialization/spec/class.doc6.html#4100

    Based on this Java specification and its note that "If the SUID is not
    declared for a class, the value defaults to the hash for that class":

    2) If a serialVersionUID field is defined in the class with the proper
    modifiers, its value is used as the "actual serialization version UID"
    mentioned in the CORBA spec

    3) If a serialVersionUID field with the proper modifiers is not
    explicitly defined in a class, its value is computed as explained in the
    Java Object Serialization spec, and this computed value is used as the
    "actual serialization version UID" mentioned in the CORBA spec

    4) It is required by the CORBA spec to always include the Java
    serialVersionUID (as computed in assertions 2 and 3 above) in the RMI
    repository ID if the value is different than the OMG hash code (for
    which the algorithm is defined in CORBA formal 00-11-03 10.6.2)

    5) It is not acceptable to leave off the SUID portion of the RMI
    repository ID if the serialVersionUID field is merely absent from the
    Java class

Second bit of response_flags

  • Legacy Issue Number: 2968
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Triodia Technologies Pty Ltd ( Michi Henning)
  • Summary:

    The question below was posted to the corba-dev list. I have to admit
    that I don't understand the purpose of the second-least significant bit
    of response_flags either. From the text in the spec, it appears that
    this bit is set if a request expects a response and is not invoked via
    the DII, whereas if a request is oneway or invoked via the DII with
    INV_NO_RESPONSE set, the bit is clear.

fragmentation broken with bi-dir giop

  • Legacy Issue Number: 2801
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: I wish to raise the following as an urgent issue:

    The way that message fragments are encoded in giop 1.2, in conjunction
    with the giop 1.2 specification for bi-directional use of a connection,
    can lead to situations where the protocol is ambiguous.

    (This is urgent because it is impossible to implement the bi-directional
    part of GIOP 1.2 without it.)

A Messaging related issue in GIOP 1.2

  • Legacy Issue Number: 2077
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Tom and I have discovered a minor outage in GIOP 1.2 relative to the
    Messaging spec. The outage exists if we want to keep the door open for
    publishing Messaging before GIOP is revved again. If we do not fix this
    the publishing of Messaging will have to wait until the next rev of
    GIOP. The outage is the following:

    1) In the Request header the boolean field "response_expected" was
    changed to an octet field "response_flags" in Messaging, with more
    precise definition of the meanings of various flag values.

    2) The Messaging spec defines a IOP::TaggedComponent for including QoS
    policies in an IOR.

    3) The Messaging service defines a ServiceContext for carrying QoS
    policies in GIOP messages that carry ServiceContexts.

IIOP 1.2 fragmentation presents an unrecoverable error situation

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1857
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: IIOP 1.2 fragmentation presents an unrecoverable error situation
    1.2 IIOP attempted to provide fragment interleaving by defining a 1.2
    fragment header containing request id. This does not solve the
    possibility of receiving multiple first fragments over the same
    connection which do not contain request id"s. There is no way to
    associate subsequent fragments with these initial fragments since the
    initial request id is received after the 1.2 Fragment header specified
    request_id.

New IDL types

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1707
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: When the new IDL types were added (fixed, long double, etc), no new
    IIOP or GIOP version was introduced, and no new version of CDR was introduced.
    Instead, the marshaling rules for the new types were simply added to CDR,
    and the type code interface was extended to handle these.

    Unfortunately, this creates some rather serious problems for interoperability.

Narrow Interop

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1669
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Narrowing is used in CORBA to check if an object reference obtained by
    a client is of the desired type, ie. supports a specific IDL interface
    that the client wants to use.

    The client program has static information about the interface it wants
    to use from the IDL specification. However, this is not enough as it
    must also be possible to invoke remote objects that support an IDL
    interface derived from the interface the client knows of.

    There are at least 4 possiblities how the type checking can be resolved
    (+ combinations of them):

    Narrow makes a query to an interface repository.
    (ii) Narrow makes a call to the remote object.
    (iii) The object reference contains enough information, e.g. the whole
    interface type hierarchy that the remote object supports.
    (iv) There is no narrow; the type check is made when a request is
    received by the server-side ORB.

Marshalling of union type codes

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1544
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: On page 13-14, the spec says for marshaling of type codes:

    "Note that the tuples identifying struct, exception, and enum
    members must be in the order defined in the OMG IDL definition
    text."

    This is right and proper, otherwise I wouldn"t know in what order things are
    encoded or what their ordinal values are. However, the text does not
    mention unions, so the order in which a type code describes the union
    members is left to the implementation.

    Suggestion: Require union members to also appear in the order in which
    they are defined in the IDL.

Typecode encoding is too long

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1531
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Proposal: allow for alternate, compact encoding of typecodes
    It is clear that typecodes are quite long when encoded into CDR and
    transmitted over the wire. This is particularly painful when the CORBA::Any
    type is used in interfaces. Besides, the use of any is becoming increasingly
    important in multiple CORBA specifications, and a global solution to this
    problem should be provided.

    My proposal is to allow for an alternate encoding of typecodes, for those
    specific cases where type identification can be achieved either by other
    application specific mechanisms (for example, Name-Value pairs) or where
    the Repository Id of the type is enough to reconstruct the full typecode
    information locally on the receiving side.

  • Summary:

    Summary: If a type code does not have a repository ID

    (e.g. dynamic type ) then the member names for
    structs and unions etc. should be required to be

    This may help the type code comparision issue to be resolved.

CDR encoding of TypeCodes

  • Key: CORBA21-97
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1292
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: I just stumbled on the following paragraph in 13.3.4 describing the CDR
    encoding of TypeCodes:

    "The name parameters in tk_objref, tk_struct, tk_union, tk_enum,
    tk_alias, and tk_except TypeCodes and the member name parameters in
    tk_struct, tk_union, tk_enum and tk_except TypeCodes are not specified
    by (or significant in) GIOP. Agents should not make assumptions about
    type equivalence based on these name values; only the structural
    information (including RepositoryId values, if provided) is significant.
    If provided, the strings should be the simple, unscoped names supplied
    in the OMG IDL definition text. If omitted, they are encoded as empty
    strings."

    This would suggest that the name and member name parts of a typecode
    should never be considered significant when an ORB compares typecodes.

Typecode indirection issue

  • Legacy Issue Number: 1503
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: We have come across the following issue with regard to typecode
    indirections. The specification states:

    the indirection is a numeric octet offset within the scope of some
    "top level" TypeCode and points to the TCKind value for the
    typecode.

    The question arrises then is it legal to point to the (possible)
    padding bytes preceeding the TCKind value or must the numberic value
    indicate the position of the actual TCKind value. If you assume the
    former then having rewound the required number of bytes you would word
    align before interogating the TCKind enum value.

    Summary: There seems to be no provision for numbering the fragments in fragmented

Correct CDR encoding of an empty string

  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: What is the correct encoding for an empty string according to GIOP?

    In section 13.3.2, page 13-11 of CORBA 2.2, the following paragraph
    describes the encoding of strings:

    "A string is encoded as an unsigned long indicating the length of the string
    in octets, followed by the string value in single- or multi-byte form
    represented as a sequence of octets. Both the string length and contents
    include a terminating null."

    This does not clarify what is the correct encoding for empty strings,
    as there are two possibilities:
    a) length=0, no string follows
    b) length=1, "\0" (one-char with the terminating null)

    Of course, this still leaves the issue of what to do about aliases up in
    the air.

Wchar and Char can both be multibyte

  • Key: CORBA21-94
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1111
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: With regard to the character encoding issue.

    This is not just a problem with Wchar, and Wstring, it can happen
    with char and string as well. Multibyte encodings are used for
    normal strings in the enhanced IDL as well as for
    Wchars.
    I think the problem is in the definition of char. For interop, the char type could be either:
    1) restricted to a syntactic thing which can only be used with single byte encodings, or
    2) we need to bite the bullet and make the encoding for char a sequence
    of bytes if a multibyte encoding is chosen.

    Summary: CORBA 2.1"s GIOP Exception formatting description (12.4.2)
    partitions the space of valid minor codes, with
    20 bits reserved for unique vendor IDs and only 12 bits

    This seems backwards (1 million vendors each with
    only 4 thousand minor codes!) and I would like
    to request a change to (at least) swap these
    numbers with the following textual change:

    The high order 10 bits of minor_code_value contain a 10-bit
    "vendor minor codeset ID" (VMCID); the low order 22 bits
    contain a minor code. A vendor (or group of vendors)
    wishing to define a specific set of system exception
    minor codes should obtain a unique VMCID from the OMG, and
    then define up to (22 bits of) 4194304 minor codes for each
    system exception. Any vendor....

Query about GIOP and IIOP version numbers in 98-01-03

  • Key: CORBA21-92
  • Legacy Issue Number: 960
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: I"ve been reading through 98-01-03.pdf (Change pages from Interop 1.2
    RTF), and come across a problem concerning version numbers.

    On page 13-39, the following paragraph has been added:

    "The version number published in the Tag Internet IIOP Profile body
    signals the highest GIOP minor version number that the server supports
    at the time of publication of the IOR"

    As far as I can see, the only version information in the profile body is
    "iiop_version", which has the following note in its description:

    "Note - This value is not equivalent to the GIOP version number
    specified in GIOP message headers. Transport-specific elements of the
    IIOP specification may change independantly from the GIOP specification"

    Which is correct?
