| Supported Specification Details</h2> |
| Not all of the above specifications are currently implemented in the ORB |
| in Java[tm] SE 6. The precise list of supported sections is as follows: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| CORBA 2.3.1 chapters 1-3 and 6-9</li> |
| |
| <li>Revised IDL to Java language mapping, section 1.21.8.2, the <tt>orb.properties</tt> |
| file.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| CORBA 2.3.1 chapter 4 with the following replacements from the Portable |
| Interceptors specification:</li> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| section 4.2.3.5 <TT>destroy</TT></li> |
| |
| <li> |
| section 4.5.2 <TT>CodeFactory</TT> and <TT>PICurrent</TT> are required</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Section 4.5.3.4 as updated for <TT>register_initial_reference</TT></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <li> |
| CORBA 2.3.1 chapter 5 with the following update from the Portable Interceptors |
| specification:</li> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| 5.5.2 <TT>StringSeq</TT> and <TT>WStringSeq</TT> are required. This adds the |
| following |
| classes |
| to <TT>org.omg.CORBA</TT>:</li> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <TT>StringSeqHolder</TT></li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <TT>StringSeqHelper</TT></li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <TT>WStringSeqHolder</TT></li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <TT>WStringSeqHelper</TT></li> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <li> |
| CORBA 2.3.1 sections 10.6.1 and 10.6.2 are supported for repository IDs.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| CORBA 2.3.1 section 10.7 for <TT>TypeCode</TT> APIs.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| CORBA 2.3.1 chapter 11, Portable Object Adapter (POA), with the following updates from the Portable Interceptors specification:</li> |
| |
| <ul> |

| ORB fully supports all versions of GIOP, with the exception that the bi-directional |
| GIOP feature defined in sections 15.8 and 15.9 is not supported.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| All of the Interoperable Naming Service is supported.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Portable Interceptors section 13.8 (the new <TT>Coder</TT>/<TT>Decoder</TT> interfaces) |
