Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: MofError's error_kind and error_description
members are wstrings, yet the string constants
defined in this section (and which are I
assume intended for use as values for one or
both of these members) are strings.

Resolution: 
Revised Text: Resolution:
This was a bug that originates from the MOF1.4 specification where the same problem persists through several versions of the MOF-to-IDL specification. The solution to this issue is to simply re-type the member error_kind in MofError from wstring to a normal CORBA string. Apply the same to the error_description member.
Revised Text:
Change section 7.4 (page 50) from:
exception MofError {
wstring error_kind;
MOFObject element_in_error;
NamedValueList extra_info;
wstring error_description;
};
to:
exception MofError {
string error_kind;
MOFObject element_in_error;
NamedValueList extra_info;
string error_description;
};
Change section 6.2.10 (page 20/21) accordingly into:

exception MofError {
string error_kind;
MOFObject element_in_error;
NamedValueList extra_info;
string error_description;
};
