Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	The function CDRInputStream.read_string mishandles an empty string, incorrectly caculating this as a length of zero (0), resulting in a marshall exception. The handling of empty strings has been corrected so that CDRInputStream.read_string now returns an empty string, avoiding the error which occurred previously.	Story Points:	---

As this ticket fixes a customer issue, it needs to be noted in the JBoss EAP 6.2.1 Release Notes document. After reading through the history of this and related tickets, I have drafted some text. Please review it and confirm whether or not it is accurate.

"A QoS was added to allow CDRInputStream.read_string to interoperate with those ORBs that do not encode empty strings correctly."

Comment 7 Nikoleta Hlavickova 2014-02-04 11:45:49 UTC

Verified with EAP 6.2.1.CP.CR3.1
