That's great, thanks Darren.
I debugged into that part of code and saw the char being assigned an out
of range value, but I wasn't sure what the appropriate encoding should
have been.
For future reference, where would I find that kind of information?
Would it be in the CORBA spec? The CDR encoding maybe?

Hello Matteo,
I think I've tracked down the cause of the problem.
The reason this was happening was due to the way the conversion from the
Byte object to the Character object was being made. Using a negative
byte
value to create a new character resulted in the value of the character
wrapping
within its range and causing a large character value. (i.e. byte
value of
-128
resulted in a character with value 65408). When this value was passed to
the
ORB, the stream checked to ensure that the value was not greater than 255
(the
OMG range for a character is 0 to 255) and since it was, threw a
DATA_CONVERSION exception.
I'm going to add something to the PrimitiveHandler so that the correct
conversion
from a byte value to a character value is performed. This should
solve the
issues
you are seeing with the failing character test.
Cheers,
Darren

Hi,
I am trying to fix some of the (currently disabled) idltowsdl corba
binding type tests.
The tests involve invoking an operation with the following corba
binding:
<wsdl:operation name="testChar">
<corba:operation name="testChar">
<corba:param mode="in" name="inChar" idltype="corba:char" />
<corba:param mode="inout" name="inoutChar"
idltype="corba:char" />
<corba:param mode="out" name="outChar" idltype="corba:char" />
<corba:return name="return" idltype="corba:char" />
</corba:operation>
In the client process, during the marshalling of the request, a
CORBA.DATA_CONVERSION exception is thrown when we attempt to write out
the character.
I think the problem lies in the fact that the type mapping for a char is
corba:char <-> xs:byte <-> java byte (or Byte).
Class org.apache.yoko.bindings.corba.CorbaObjectWriter casts the object
to be marshalled to a Character in its writeChar method.
Should this be cast to a Byte instead? Or should the Byte be
appropriately converted to a Character before being written out?
I am not sure what the right approach to fix it is.
Perhaps someone with a better understanding of the runtime can help me
here?
Any help or pointers to relevant resources will be appreciated.
To reproduce this failure, enable the test by commenting out the
testChar method in
bindings/src/test/java/org/apache/yoko/bindings/corba/IdlToWsdlTypeTest.java
