Issue 1242:  Any"s and Exceptions (java-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: In Section 23.13, the signature for insert_Object() is given as,
 
 // throw excep when typecode inconsistent with value
 abstract public void insert_Object(
                     org.omg.CORBA.Object o, org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode t)
                                 throws org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL;
 
 Does this mean if an incorrect TypeCode is passed, eg. tk_short, that a
 MARSHAL Exception must be thrown or could a BAD_PARAM Exception
 be thrown.
 
 Also, I assume read_value() is meant to insert a complex IDL type into
 an Any ?
 If so, read_value() is supposed to throw a MARSHAL Exception if the
 typecode
 is inconsistent with the value. Does this mean that if a short has been
 written to the
 stream, but the stream is passed with a tk_sequence typecode, then an
 Exception
 should be thrown by read_value() ?.

In Section 23.13, the signature for insert_Object() is given as,

// throw excep when typecode inconsistent with value
abstract public void insert_Object(
                    org.omg.CORBA.Object o, org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode t)
                                throws org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL;

Does this mean if an incorrect TypeCode is passed, eg. tk_short, that
a
MARSHAL Exception must be thrown or could a BAD_PARAM Exception
be thrown.

Also, I assume read_value() is meant to insert a complex IDL type into
an Any ?
If so, read_value() is supposed to throw a MARSHAL Exception if the
typecode
is inconsistent with the value. Does this mean that if a short has
been
written to the
stream, but the stream is passed with a tk_sequence typecode, then an
Exception
should be thrown by read_value() ? eg.

Any a = orb.create_any();
OutputStream os = a.create_output_stream();
os.write_short((short) 5);
InputStream is = os.create_input_stream();
TypeCode tc = orb.get_primitive_tc(TCKind.tk_float);
a.read_value(is, orb.create_sequence_tc(5,tc));
