Corba module cannot handle unbounded sequences
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2-4955
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4955
             Project: Axis2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: corba
    Affects Versions: 1.5.4
            Reporter: David Cole


While trying to follow the example found on the WS02 website at: http://wso2.org/library/2807#comment-17115
Like others, I encounted issues running the example.

It turns out that the corba module is unable to handle 'unbounded' sequences within the IDL file, like that used in the example.
Here is the IDL code snipplet for the sequence that is creating an issue (for the full IDL file refer to the link above):

typedef sequence <long> longVals;

When defining an unbounded sequence like this, the corba module will throw an exception and is unable to parse the IDL file:

org.apache.axis2.corba.exceptions.InvalidIDLException: an identifier is required after the 'long' keyword
at org.apache.axis2.corba.idl.parser.IDLVisitor.findDataType(IDLVisitor.java:397)
at org.apache.axis2.corba.idl.parser.IDLVisitor.visitAnonymousSequence(IDLVisitor.java:554)
at org.apache.axis2.corba.idl.parser.IDLVisitor.findDataType(IDLVisitor.java:354)
at org.apache.axis2.corba.idl.parser.IDLVisitor.visitAndAddTypedefs(IDLVisitor.java:509)
at org.apache.axis2.corba.idl.parser.IDLVisitor.visit(IDLVisitor.java:111)
at org.apache.axis2.corba.idl.parser.IDLVisitor.visit(IDLVisitor.java:80)
at org.apache.axis2.corba.idl.IDLProcessor.process(IDLProcessor.java:49)

The only workaround for now is to use a bounded sequence instead:

  typedef sequence <long,20> longVals;

The corba module should not enforce using only bounded sequences and it seems that this is imposing an unnecessary restriction.
