      Interop resolution 3857

      http://cgi.omg.org/issues/java2idl-rtf.html#Issue3857

      says that in RMI-IIOP, a null referred to by an Object, Serializable, or Externalizable reference is encoded as an Any with the type code tk_abstract_interface, repository ID "IDL:omg.org/CORBA/AbstractBase:1.0", the name string "", and value of null abstract interface (encoded as a boolean discriminant of false followed by a long value of 0).

      When a spec compliant ORB sends such a beast, our current AnyImpl gets an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception.

      AnyImpl has an isStreamed array which is short two items -- tk_native and tk_abstract_interface.

      This bug was found as part of the Connectathon effort for JavaOne.

      IBM reported that they upgraded their ORB to fix this same problem by doing the following:

      1.add the missing entries to the is_streamed[ ] array as already noted,
      2.modify AnyImpl.extract_Value(), to accept a kind of _tk_abstract_interface,
      3.add a case statement inTCUtility.marshalIn() to handle an abstract interface using write_abstract_interface(),
      4.add a case statement in TCUtility.unmarshalIn() to handle an abstract interface using read_abstract_interface().

      In addition, our ORB must do the proper ORB versioning to maintain backwards compatibility with older JDKs.
