output parameter causing org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the valErrors out parameter in the following
IDL operation:

		boolean submit(in SMSProvExt::WorkOrderData wo,
			in boolean isNew,
			out string woName,
			out SMSProvExt::ValErrorList valErrors)
			raises(ApplError);

On the client side, I pass in the following value:

ValErrorListHolder valErrors = new ValErrorListHolder();


If the server implementation returns an empty list then everything
works fine:

    public boolean submit(WorkOrderData wo, boolean isNew, StringHolder
woName, ValErrorListHolder valErrors) throws ApplError {

        woName.value = "";

        ValError[] errors = new ValError[0];
        valErrors.value = errors;
        return true;
    }


However if the server implementation return a non-empty list, for
example:

    public boolean submit(WorkOrderData wo, boolean isNew, StringHolder
woName, ValErrorListHolder valErrors) throws ApplError {

        woName.value = "";

        ValError[] errors = new ValError[1];

        errors[0] = new ValError();
        errors[0].valErrNo = 23;
        errors[0].valErrMsg = "Some error";

        valErrors.value = errors;
        return true;
    }

Then when the client calls submit(), the following exception is thrown:


org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM:   vmcid: 0x0  minor code: 0  completed: No

I'm using Visibroker, and both the client and server are implemented in
Java 5.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
