Revised IDL to Java language mapping, section 1.21.8.2, the orb.properties aoqi@0: file.
aoqi@0: CORBA 2.3.1 chapter 4 with the following replacements from the Portable aoqi@0: Interceptors specification:

aoqi@0: section 4.2.3.5 destroy
aoqi@0: section 4.5.2 CodeFactory and PICurrent are required
aoqi@0: Section 4.5.3.4 as updated for register_initial_reference

aoqi@0: CORBA 2.3.1 chapter 5 with the following update from the Portable Interceptors aoqi@0: specification:

aoqi@0: 5.5.2 StringSeq and WStringSeq are required. This adds the aoqi@0: following aoqi@0: classes aoqi@0: to org.omg.CORBA:

aoqi@0: StringSeqHolder
aoqi@0: StringSeqHelper
aoqi@0: WStringSeqHolder
aoqi@0: WStringSeqHelper

aoqi@0: CORBA 2.3.1 sections 10.6.1 and 10.6.2 are supported for repository IDs.
aoqi@0: CORBA 2.3.1 section 10.7 for TypeCode APIs.
aoqi@0: CORBA 2.3.1 chapter 11, Portable Object Adapter (POA), with the following updates from the Portable Interceptors specification:
