Assignee: Darren Middleman
> Conversion problems from Byte to Character when using an IDL char type
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: YOKO-290
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YOKO-290
> Project: Yoko - CORBA Server
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CorbaBinding
> Affects Versions: 1.0-incubating-M2
> Reporter: Darren Middleman
> Assigned To: Darren Middleman
> Fix For: 1.0-incubating-M2
>
>
> The binding incorrectly converts between Bytes and Characters when a value of
> IDL type 'char' is used.
> In IDLs which use the IDL type 'char', a conversion needs to be done in the
> binding to handle the data appropriately on the CORBA and Yoko sides. On the
> CORBA side, a Java char is used to represent the data. However, on the Yoko
> side, a byte holds the data. During the marshalling and unmarsalling of data
> in the binding from one side to another, the correct conversion between a
> byte and a character needs to be done, accounting for the different ranges
> (byte -128 to 127 and character 0 to 65535). Currently the binding does this
> incorrectly and negative byte values result in large character values, which
> the ORB will not accept (must fall within the range 0 to 255).
