A lack of results from Sybase simply indicates that we haven't been bothered
to run the tests. As far as I am aware, not one of our customers or
prospective customer has expressed any interest in seeing our results for
these tests. If you would care to send me the complete test suite I will
pass it on to our QA group.
I would make a comment on behalf of many of our customers that IIOP access
to EJBs using CORBA 2.2 IDL (i.e. no valuetypes) is far more important than
worrying about whether or not Java null values can be correctly propagated in
remote calls. Fortunately for us most of the other vendors pay lip service to
this and we benefit by getting the customers who really care about having
usable interoperability that doesn't require them to write CORBA wrappers for
all their EJBs or C++ implementations of Java value types.
And by the way, we do support Java serialization for customers who don't care
about cross-language interoperability.
