> Axis2's IDL parser (Corba Module) gives fault on valid comment
> In our IDLs we have some comments with the following syntax:
> {code:java}
> /**
> * some
> * comment
> * here
> **/{code}
> Of course, this is valid comment syntax, however it triggers parser errors:
> {code:java}
> ERROR [2025-06-06 16:04:17,494]

> After some analyzing, it seems that the parser does not accept multiple star
> symbols *"\*"* before the comment-terminating sequence *"\*/"* - so *"\*/"*
> is valid, but *"\*\*/"* is not.
> Note: We are using Axis2' Corba module to migrate our Corba services away
> from using Java Applets and towards web services. Even if this is not the
> intended use of Axis2, it seems to be the best open-source option for this
> type of migration.
