org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT gets thrown from com.sun.CORBA.idl.AnyImpl.insert_wstring(AnyImpl.java:640) because wstring does not seem to be supported - this is absolutely essential for international applications and I cannot understand how this was ommitted given Java's unicode/international support. Please have this entered as a bug (not an enhancement). Also the ORB cannot be conformant until wide strings are supported.
