Symptoms: When a non Java Object is used in getConstructor or getNew,
           object creation fails
               eg., (as in VB code)
                    Set y = x.getConstructor("com.ibm.corbaejb.MyClass","int")
                    Set y = x.getNew("com.ibm.corbaejb.MyClass")

Analysis: Visual Basic 6 is required to recreate the problem. Follow
the recreation steps given below to recreate the problem.

3. Test Case and Failure Data:
   ***zip file available on request***

     1. Detach the testcase.zip file and unzip it. This will create a
directory. Contents of directory are
            (i) Visual Basic(VB) project and its files
           (ii) r4test.jar ( this jar can be packaged as activex component)
          (iii) Directory Rohit, which has the code for javabean.(You have
to traverse this directory to find the code.)

     2. Compile the Bean. If you are in dir test,type javac
rohit/test/jdk/activexbridge/*.java

     3. Jar the Bean,using jar cvfM0 <jar file name here> META-INF rohit4.
Package the JavaBean, run PackageBean.bat
           (i) Specify the file which contains the java Bean,(jar
file what you have created).
          (ii) Bean to be packaged -
rohit.test.jdk.active*.SimplejavaBean.
          (iii) ActiveXname - simpleJavaBean.
          (iv) Output path for registry and typelib file.
           (v) Start Generation.

     4. Now start VB,

     5. Open the VB project file Project1.

     6. Click on Project from Menu, select components and find
"simpleJavaBean" control, select it

     7. Put this new component on the form and use the code given in the
testcase project.

     8. Try first 4 buttons, they all work without problem

     9. Try 5th and 6th, both fail.
