Issue 2504: Misleading wording in section 28.5.1.4 (java2idl-rtf) Source: (, ) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Summary: The wording of section 28.5.1.4 is misleading. It says that writeRemoteObject and writeAbstractObject can allocate ties. This is not incorrect, but it could be misinterpreted. In some implementations, a tie is allocated when an implementation object is exported, so this wording could be taken to imply that these methods do an "auto export" if an unexported object is passed in to these methods. Resolution: Closed, accepted Revised Text: Change the following text: However, if obj is an RMI/IDL implementation object .... to: However, if obj is an exported RMI/IDL implementation object ....
