Issue 3655: OMG ZIP FILE ISSUES for IDL to Java RTF (02) (java-rtf)
Source: Oracle (Dr. Anita Jindal, nobody)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: Significant
Summary: (2).  Wrong mapping for all Enum types, specifically method from_int() is not 
according to IDL to Java mapping spec.

	According to ptc/00-01-08.pdf, the mapping for from_int() method is
	
	// get enum with specified value public 
	static <enum_name> from_int(int value);

whereas in the OMG published interfaces for all Enums, the mapping for this
signature is something like:

	public static IdAssignmentPolicyValue from_int(int val)
                       throws org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM
         
        PLS. NOTE THAT IT IS THROWING AN EXCEPTION NOT SPECIFIED BY THE MAPPING.

Juergen,

Some time ago Anita Jindal (another Sun employee) sent the following 
issues for the IDL-Java RTF to issues@omg.org.  We have not yet
seen the numbers assigned to these issues.  Could you check on this
and let us know the issue numbers, or assign issue numbers if they
were somehow missed?

Thanks,

Ken Cavanaugh

Hi all,

Again, looks like an editorial issue. Note that since BAD_PARAM is a
system
exception, it can be thrown without the throws clause and having the
throws
clause does not require a client to catch and handle the
exception. Quite
harmless, anyway.

Thanks,
Vijay

 (2). Wrong mapping for all Enum types, specifically method from_int()
    is not

        method is

        // get enum with specified value public
        static  from_int(int value);

this

        public static IdAssignmentPolicyValue from_int(int val)
            throws org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM

    PLS. NOTE THAT IT IS THROWING AN EXCEPTION NOT SPECIFIED BY THE
    MAPPING.

Proposal:

Change all instances of Enum type from_int methods to have the
signature
       static  from_int(int value);
