             Project: Yoko - CORBA Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: orb core, RMI-IIOP
    Affects Versions: v1.1.0
            Reporter: Rick McGuire
            Assignee: Rick McGuire
             Fix For: v1.0.0


There are multiple serialization problems showing up when processing serialization using interface classes rather than concrete implementation classes.  This problem shows up when a serializable object defines a field using an interface class.  For example, this showed up using an object where the field was defined as a java.util.List and a Vector instance was stored in the field.  There were multiple bugs that popped out with this scenario:

1)  The serialization code was incorrectly treating the List type as an abstract interface rather than a value type, which caused problems on serialization/deserialization.
2)  Once this was corrected, problems were found with correctly interpreting fields defined as arrays.   
3)  Once that was corrected, a problem was encountered with handling chunk boundaries during the deserialization of object arrays. 

These problems were very difficult to diagnose using the existing logging in the core orb and the RMI support, so some additional logging points should also be added.
