As per formal/99-10-07, sec 3.8.5,

"Values may be derived from other values and can support an interface and any number of abstract interfaces".

The last part of supporting any number of abstract interfaces is reported as an error by IDLJ compiler in merlin b30. The idl file and it's compilation is given below:

/home/arung/workarea/test-area/idl 2429 $ more animal.idl
abstract interface A { };

abstract interface B { };

abstract interface C { };

valuetype ABC supports A, B, C {
};

/home/arung/workarea/test-area/idl 2430 $ /usr/local/java/jdk1.4/solaris/bin/idlj animal.idl
