    Problem Text
    The VSOrb test suite fails to accept the use by Orbix of an Environment
    parameter in each member function as part of its C++ mapping. The Environment
    parameter should be accepted by the test suite for the following reasons:

    1. The CORBA 2.1 specification does not preclude the use of any number of
    additional defaulted parameters as part of the C++ mapping.

    2. The use of the Environment parameter is required for environments which
    do not support exception handling.

    3. IONA wishes to maintain backward compatibility for existing customers,
    many of whom are using the Environment parameter.
    Test Output

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    This request should be denied. It cannot be processed due to procedural
    issues:

    1) Product Standard information does not correspond to a TOG Product Standard.

    2) The test suite version given is not valid. We presume 1.0.0 is intended.

    3) Test section, test area, test case, and test number information is
    not provided. "All" is not a valid response for these fields. Note
    that since the suite covers C and C++ and this IR applies only to C++
    that "All" is not likely to be correct.

    4) No test results are provided. Results demonstrating failures
    must be provided for each test to which the submitter feels the IR applies.

    5) Computer type, model and operating system information is not
    provided.

    As well, issue 1 is a specification interpretation question and so needs
    to be raised as a PIN rather than a TSD. Issues 2 and 3 are test
    suite/program enhancement requests which are not a suitable subject for
    an IR, which is used for test suite and specification issues only.

    Review Conclusion
    This issue cannot be classified as a Test Suite Deficiency, but
    should be raised as an interpretation request to OMG for
    clarification. The definition of the CORBA 2.1 standard can be
    read in different ways. The intention of the specification appears
    to suggest native exception handling should be used in a C++
    environment. However, OMG should be requested to decide if the use of
    environment parameters for exceptions is permissable.
