Issue 5899: rules for marshalling ValueBoxes (corba-rtf) Source: AT&T (Dr. Duncan Grisby, ) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: The GIOP specification does not say anything at all about the rules for marshalling ValueBoxes. I believe the expected format is to marshal ValueBoxes as if they were a normal Value with a single member, and that they follow the normal rules about indirections and chunking. The spec should clearly state this.
