Hi All,

Recently we uncovered that a mismatch in the JDK versions used on the
client and server side (9.0) causes some clients to fail.
This issue is seen only when the use of the java.math.BigDecimal API is
involved. In the Quick Look tests, the EJB converter test uses this API.

The following matrix gives more information about which update releases
of 1.5.0 work well together when used on the client and server side.

                                Server ------>
                JDK 1.5.0|update 4 | update 5 | update 6
                ------------------------------------------
client update 4 | yes | no | no
   | | | |
   | ------------------------------------------
   | update 5 | no | yes | yes
   v | | |
                ------------------------------------------
                update 6 | no | yes | yes
                         | | |
                ------------------------------------------

Update 4 of 1.5.0 does not work with the future updates. But updates 5
and 6 work with each other.

We will be looking into fixing this issue in the ORB code.
All update releases after update 4 (JDK1.5.0) work well with 9.0.

Thanks
Sheetal
