null value marshall problem with JacORB

[flitzie]

I am using JBoss 3.2.2 RC4. Everytime when I try to send a null value e.g. of a String to the client I receive an unknown exception. A workaround is to send empty Strings. But if the client sends a null value of a String to JBoss everything works fine. Is this a null value marshallizing bug of JacORB? Do I have to upgrade to a higher version ?

TIA

Please give more details. How are you sending null to the client? I have run a simple test that in which a String-valued EJB method returns null to the client and no exception was thrown. Did the same from a Foo-valued EJB method (where Foo implements java.io.Serializable), also with no problems. For these tests I have used Branch_3_2 from CVS, but see no reason 3.2.2 RC4 should behave differently.
