What are the problems with case insensitivity in CORBA IDL?
You cannot have certain RMI definitions like a package named “employee” within which is an interface named “Employee” with the only difference being the case (that is, upper case/lower case). This prevents java2iiop from mapping these classes into IDL. This is unfortunately an explicit restriction in the reverse mapping. IDL is case insensitive (due to a requirement to support target languages which are case insensitive). However, the Java-to-IDL reverse mapping does attempt to handle Java’s case sensitivity. For example, the reverse mapping supports method names which differ only by case. However, the reverse mapping does not support “type” names which differ only by case and, peculiarly, package names map to an IDL construct (module) which is considered a type. All of this is as per the OMG specifications; these are not limitations in our product, per se. As such, these same limitations will exist in any compliant EJB product built using RMI-over-IIOP.
