Local fix

Problem summary

  • ORB appears to be incorrectly caching negative class loads
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.1 GA FP1
    
    These are the events taking place during test run ?
    1) Context classloader is set to CL1
    2) Call to exportObject()
    3) Context classloader is set to CL2 (Cl2 is parent of CL1)
    4) Call to toStub() ?
    As expected this call fails with java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException
    as it cant load
    stub but adds entry in TieToStubcache though it was miss.
    5) set context classloader to CL1
    6) Call to toStub() this time the TieToStubCache hands back the
    stubInfo
       object which it stored in previous call to toStub() but
    remember this was miss
       last time and hence the stubInfo.stub = NULL here
    7) This again results in java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException where as
    it should
       have loaded separate stub. The problem occurs due
    ClassInfo.matches() logic
       where orb considers previous stubInfo object stored for
    parent context
       classloader (CL2 in this case) a match.
    And TieToStubCache returns back that stored stubInfo object.
