I found what the problem is with idlj. It turns out it was
not the recent changes. They are changes to
                                                                       
        /com/sun/tools/corba/se/idl/toJavaPortable/InterfaceGen.java
                                                                       
                                                                       
-------------------------
                                                                       
The last time it was changed was:
                                                                       
                                                                       
501 toJavaPortable> sccs prt InterfaceGen.java

Fixed a bug for fallTie option
                                                                       
-------------------------
                                                                       
Looking at the change I see:

-------------------------
                                                                                
The line:
                                                                                
                    theArguments.TIEServer = false;
                                                                                
turns off the TIEServer argumment so generateSkeleton will behave
differently. However, if the file contains multiple interface then
the remaining interfaces which still need to be processed will not
have tie classes generated.
                                                                                
So why did this not turn up in any tests sooner?
                                                                                
My hcks.idl test has multiple interfaces. And it does use a Tie class
in the test. However, it only uses a tie from one of the interfaces
in the file. It turns out that the interface was always the first one
in the file until my putback today. I added one more interface above
it. I noticed that it generated a Tie class for the new interface but
not for the rest.
                                                                        
So I changed InterfaceGen.java to say:
                                                                       
                  theArguments.TIEServer = false;
                  // Generate the ImplBase class
                  generateSkeleton ();
                  // Revert in case file contains multiple interfaces
                  theArguments.TIEServer = true;
                                                                       
Now all interfaces in the idl file have tie classes generated.
                                                                       
I am going to submit a bug on this. Then I need someone to review my
changes so I can put them back. The Q also changes since this bug
breaks the build:

Cheers,

ps: SQE should add tests to make sure that an IDL file
with multiple interfaces all have Tie classes generated.
