Description Surendra 2013-11-22 08:24:58 UTC

We upgraded from Corba 2.2.4 to 2.3.0.
In 2.2.4 it was working fine, we are facing below issue after upgrading:

Basically it is not allowing argument name as same as type(we give argument name as small letters where as type contains capital and small letters).

Ex:Below method is throwing error:
Short createErrorInfo(in  ErrorMsg_IF error, out ErrorInfo errorinfo );

Error msg:

Error: In operation com.manh.wmos.services.corba.ErrorInfoIF.createErrorInfo argument errorInfo clashes with type com.manh.wmos.services.corba.ErrorInfoIFPackage.ErrorInfo

That is to comply with the corba spec. You could using the -sloppy* options to permit some illegal IDL (see the programmingguide). Note the current version is 3.3 not 2.3.
