Issue 3620: Differ by case IDL error in "Right" structure Security module (sec-rev)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: The Security Service 1.7 specification:

	http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?security/1999-12-02.pdf

has a "differ by case" error in the Security module IDL:

    // Declarations related to Rights 

    struct Right {
        ExtensibleFamily        rights_family;
        string                  right;
    };

The name of the structure "Right" and one of it members "right" only
differ by case which of course isn't allowed in CORBA IDL.

I also checked the RTF Final Report for the 1.7 spec, and didn't
notice any resolution to this problem.

Resolution: Apply revision and close issue.
Revised Text: Change the "right" field to "the_right" in Applendix A.2
Actions taken:
May 19, 2000: received issue
August 3, 2001: closed issue
Discussion: 
This change will only affect implemenations that were broken in the first place.
Interoperability will not be affected.

Hi,

The Security Service 1.7 specification:

    http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?security/1999-12-02.pdf

has a "differ by case" error in the Security module IDL:

    // Declarations related to Rights 

    struct Right {
        ExtensibleFamily        rights_family;
        string                  right;
    };

The name of the structure "Right" and one of it members "right" only
differ by case which of course isn't allowed in CORBA IDL.

I also checked the RTF Final Report for the 1.7 spec, and didn't
notice any resolution to this problem.

Thanks,
-Ossama
