Hi,

I'm looking for a code review for a corba fix for 7 and 8, which is identical to fix went to earlier releases.

A wrong "IOP00810247: (MARSHAL) Default union branch not expected" exception is thrown for discriminated unions with no matching discriminator and no default cases, while Section "7.11.2.2 Discriminated Unions" [*] says it's legal to use a union without default case and without covering all possible cases:

*** 7.11.2.2 Discriminated Unions

It is not required that all possible values of the union discriminator be listed in the . The value of a union is the value of the discriminator together with one of the following:


The fix is as simple as an elimination of the exception. Everything else is in a consistent state and the exception was just wrong. There is a test case which is attached to the bug though it requires a CORBA env setup. Fix was verified by Cu.
