Changes in CORBA Features Between J2SE 1.4.x and 5.0 (original) (raw)

When the J2SE 5.0 ORB marshals an org.omg.CORBA.SystemExceptionresponse, it adds an ExceptionDetailMessage (i.e., a ServiceContext with ServiceId 14) as defined in:

/**
 * CORBA formal/02-06-01: 13.7.1:
 * ExceptionDetailMessage identifies a CDR encapsulation of a wstring,
 * encoded using GIOP 1.2 with a TCS-W of UTF-16.  This service context
 * may be sent on Reply messages with a reply_status of SYSTEM_EXCEPTION
 * or USER_EXCEPTION. The usage of this service context is defined
 * by language mappings. 
 *
 * IDL/Java: ptc/02-01-22: 1.15.2: 
 * When a System Exception is marshaled, its GIOP Reply message shall
 * include an associated ExceptionDetailMessage service context. The
 * callee's stack trace is often very valuable debugging information but
 * may contain sensitive or unwanted information. The wstring within the
 * service context will therefore contain additional information relating
 * to the exception, for example the result of calling either
 * printStackTrace(PrintWriter) or getMessage() on the exception. When
 * unmarshaling a System Exception on the client side, the wstring from
 * any ExceptionDetailMessage service context shall become the Java error
 * message in the unmarshaled exception object.
 */

When the J2SE 5.0 ORB unmarshals an org.omg.CORBA.SystemExceptionresponse it constructs the SystemException with the contents of theExceptionDetailMessage as the message argument to theSystemException constructor.

NOTE: The content of the message may change. In J2SE 5.0, the message contains the server side stack trace. The following code example (note: all details may change) of a stack trace on the client side for an exception generated on the server-side (note the server-side stack trace in the exception's message):
