        --
        There are 4 helper classes missing in Sun JDK. They are
        org.omg.CORBA.BoundsHelper
        org.omg.CORBA.TypeCodePackage.BoundsHelper
        org.omg.CORBA.TypeCodePackage.BadKindHelper
        org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidNameHelper

        The IDLtoJava spec clearly specifies the need of the helper class (not the Holder) for these files. But these are absent in the JDK. So, if we try to send any of these classes across in a client-server rmi-iiop model, it will throw an error complaining about the absence of the helper class.

        Exact steps to reproduce

        1. Write a remote interface with a method that throws any of these 4
           exception classes, let it be Invalidname.
        eg: public void sayHello( String str) throws java.rmi.RemoteException,InvalidName;

        2. Write an impl class for this interface. Also, write an iiop server
           which creates an object of this impl class and binds it with
           NameService.

        3. Write a rmi-iiop client which calls this remote method.

        4. Now do an RMIC on the impl class.

        Result:
        It will throw an error, complaining about the absence of a helper class
        for InvalidName.

        Expected Result:
        RMIC should create stub and tie classes sucessfully.

        Exact text of any error messages

        _HelloImpl_Tie.java:Undefined variable, class, or package name: org
                            org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidNameHelper.write(out,ex);
        _HelloInterface_Stub.java:Undefined variable, class, or package name: org
                         if ($_id.equals(org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidNameHelper.id())) {
        _HelloInterface_Stub.java:Undefined variable, class, or package name: org
                            throw org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidNameHelper.read(in);
        3 errors
