    24 Bug # 5036554 unmarshal error on CORBA alias type in CORBA any

    25 

    26 Platform : ALL 

    27 

    28 Testcase directory :  <.../corba>

    29 

    30 Test Procedure : <STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :

    31 Step 1: create a file bug.idl with the following content:

    32 

    33 // IDL file bug.idl

    34 module bug {

    35     typedef string myString;

    36 };

    37 

    38 Step 2: Translate bug.idl with the command: idlj bug.idl

    39 This will create the file bug/myStringHelper.java

    40 

    41 Step 3:

    42 Create the file JavaBug.java in directory bug with the following content:

    43 

    44 // Java file JavaBug.java

    45 package bug;

    46 

    47 public class JavaBug {

    48     public static void main(String[] args) {

    49         try {

    50             org.omg.CORBA.ORB orb = org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init(args, null);

    51             org.omg.CORBA.Any any = orb.create_any();

    52             myStringHelper.insert(any, "hello");

    53             System.out.println("Any: " + myStringHelper.extract(any));

    54         } catch( Exception e ) {

    55             e.printStackTrace();

    56         }

    57     }

    58 }  

    59 

    60 Step 4:

    61 Compile all java files with the command: javac -d . bug\*.java

    62 

    63 Step 5:

    64 Execute the program with the command: java -cp . bug/JavaBug

    65 

    66 Step 6: Note the null pointer exception in the the output!

    67 

    68 

    69 Without Fix behaviour :  <java.lang.NullPointerException

    71         at com.sun.corba.se.internal.corba.AnyImpl.read_value(AnyImpl.java:561)

    72         at bug.myStringHelper.insert(myStringHelper.java:20)

    73         at bug.JavaBug.main(JavaBug.java:8)>

    74         

    75 With Fix behaviour :  <The output message printed on the console: "Any: hello">
