+Bug # 5036554 unmarshal error on CORBA alias type in CORBA any
+
+Platform : ALL 
+
+Testcase directory :  <.../corba>
+
+Test Procedure : <STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
+Step 1: create a file bug.idl with the following content:
+
+// IDL file bug.idl
+module bug {
+    typedef string myString;
+};
+
+Step 2: Translate bug.idl with the command: idlj bug.idl
+This will create the file bug/myStringHelper.java
+
+Step 3:
+Create the file JavaBug.java in directory bug with the following content:
+
+// Java file JavaBug.java
+package bug;
+
+public class JavaBug {
+    public static void main(String[] args) {
+        try {
+            org.omg.CORBA.ORB orb = org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init(args, null);
+            org.omg.CORBA.Any any = orb.create_any();
+            myStringHelper.insert(any, "hello");
+            System.out.println("Any: " + myStringHelper.extract(any));
+        } catch( Exception e ) {
+            e.printStackTrace();
+        }
+    }
+}  
+
+Step 4:
+Compile all java files with the command: javac -d . bug\*.java
+
+Step 5:
+Execute the program with the command: java -cp . bug/JavaBug
+
+Step 6: Note the null pointer exception in the the output!
+
+
+Without Fix behaviour :  <java.lang.NullPointerException

+        at bug.JavaBug.main(JavaBug.java:8)>
+        
+With Fix behaviour :  <The output message printed on the console: "Any: hello">
