[jira] [Commented] (AXIS2-6095) Axis2's IDL parser (Corba Module) gives fault on valid comment

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-6095?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18079463#comment-18079463 ] 

Brănaci Șerban-Mihai commented on AXIS2-6095:
---------------------------------------------

Hello again, and sorry for the lack of action on my part on this issue.

Thank you for the heads-up. We are indeed actively using the CORBA module in our project (Mitel OpenScape4000) and do not have any immediate plans to migrate away from it.

I will for sure keep interacting with the Axis2 project whenever needed.

Thank you very much for all your support!

> Axis2's IDL parser (Corba Module) gives fault on valid comment
> In our IDLs we have some comments with the following syntax:
> {code:java}
> /**
>  * some
>  * comment
>  * here
> **/{code}
> Of course, this is valid comment syntax, however it triggers parser errors:
> {code:java}

> After some analyzing, it seems that the parser does not accept multiple star symbols *"\*"* before the comment-terminating sequence *"\*/"* - so *"\*/"* is valid, but *"\*\*/"* is not.
> Note: We are using Axis2' Corba module to migrate our Corba services away from using Java Applets and towards web services. Even if this is not the intended use of Axis2, it seems to be the best open-source option for this type of migration.
