Obtaining the VMCID means that GNU Classpath now is a recogniseable type of node in the highly interoperable CORBA world. Any CORBA server or client can recognise our exception even if it was thrown from the other end of the world and the platform of the remote corresponent was initially unknown. This should increase the possibility for us to get a bug report.
The Vice President also requested from us a web page URL where we should describe that our exception codes mean and, if we want, provide other information, how to interoperate with our ORB. The simpliest solution is to create it in Classpath Wiki - we must just be sure that the page will stay available in the future. This URL will be included into the Vendor Tag List, together with our VMCID.
The vendor tag list (old): http://www.omg.org/docs/ptc/05-04-04.txt The documentation about the VMCID: http://www.omg.org/docs/ptc/99-02-01.pdf I think, we may list this event in the Classpath news. Audrius.
Here's the entry I've created for you in the CORBA tags file: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holder: GNU Classpath project Contact: Audrius Meskauskas Email: <address@hidden> URL: Last update: 29th September 2005 Status: Current 1 VMCID 0x47430xxx ("GC\x00\x00" - "GC\x0f\xff") -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The URL field in the entry is optional - the intention is to put in the URL of a page designed to help programmers debugging interoperation with your ORB. Here are some examples: ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/misc/ilu-use-of-omg-tags.html http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/TAO/docs/Tags.html If you have a page like this I would be happy to put it in the allocation file.
