[omniORB] Case insensitivity in IDL scopes

[Jani Niittukari]

Thanks for the answers... i changed my C++/Java application namespaces to
fix this problem.

Originally the IDL file that has a problem is compiled with OpenORB's IDL
compiler. OpenORB's IDL compiler doesn't report any error from that IDL
file. I tried also Sun's IDL compiler (idlj) and that works also...

Conclusion: OpenORB's and Sun's IDL compilers aren't CORBA compliant in that
matter.

Cheers,

- Jani

That's correct.
I ran across the same problem with JacORB ( CORBA ORB for Java) and had
the same problem. Then I checked it up with the standard and found that
it is a standard way and not a bug.
