Issue 4792: exceptions on valuetype initializers (java-rtf)
Source: Oracle (Mr. Ken Cavanaugh, nobody)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: The CORBA components updates to the Interface Repository defined in ptc/01-11-03
include the addition of exceptions on valuetype initializers.  There is a 
separate
issue that is required to change the IDL grammar and other text in chapter 3
to include this.  For the purposes of discussion in this issue,  
I am assuming that the appropriate syntax is:

<init_dcl>	::= "factory" <identifier> "(" [ <init_param_decls> ] ")" [ 
<raises_expr> ] ";"

Proposed revised text:

In section 1.13.2, replace the paragraph that begins "The value type's generated 
value factory" with:

    The value type's generated value factory interface extends 
    org.omg.CORBA.portable.ValueFactory and contains one method corresponding to 
each 
    factory declared in the IDL.  The name of the method is the same as the name 
of 
    the factory, and the factory arguments are mapped in the same way as in 
parameters 
    are for IDL operations.  If the factory raises exceptions, then the 
corresponding
    Java method must throw Java exceptions corresponding to the listed IDL 
exceptions.

Resolution: Incorporate the revised text and close the issue
