Description
Name: gm110360			Date: 06/24/2004


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.5.0-beta2-b51

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
[ATTENTION: I filed this against RMI, actually this is against the ORB, but there is no combination to file a Tiger ORB bug]

We're sending object references back and forth between server and client and need to be able to resolve them back to the servant.

An object reference marshalled from 1.5 to 1.4.2 and back will trigger a WrongAdapter exception on POA#reference_to_servant. With the help of a debugger I think I traced it to different ORBVersions in ObjectKeyTemplateBase#equals.

This both works 1.4.2 -> 1.4.2 and 1.5 -> 1.5

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
In order to have one test program, you need to put the old 1.4.2 orb into the bootclasspath:

* extract 1.4.2 orb from rt.jar:   jar xvf rt.jar com/sun/corba/se
* make orb.jar: jar cvf orb.jar com/sun/corba/se

compile test program and run:

java -Xbootclasspath/p:orb.jar ORBInterop

You may as well try two programs running under 1.5 and 1.4.2 respectively.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I would expect to see:

Roundtrip J2SE 1.5 -> 1.4 -> 1.5 succeeded

ACTUAL -
Roundtrip J2SE 1.5 -> 1.4 -> 1.5 failed

CONVERTED DATA BugTraq+ Release Management Values COMMIT TO FIX: mustang
27-09-2004

EVALUATION We updated the ORB version to fix an interoperability problem with java.util.Date. We thought we had handled the version checking problem, but apparently there is a problem here. It is too late to fix this problem for Tiger, so it will need to go into a future release.
