<pre>When encoding zero length String, Jacorb is creating a String of length one
with the terminating zero character.
However, when you switch on the null String encoding
(jacorb.interop.null_string_encoding=on), it generates a zero length String,
that can break the server ORB which can not unmarshall it.
in CDROutputStream, encoding of a zero length stream:
if (valueLength == 0)
{
// Blank string; just write size and terminator. Don't need to
// align here as these methods will do it for us.
write_long( 1 );
write_octet( (byte)0 );
}
null string encoding:
if (nullStringEncoding)
{
write_long(0);
return;
}</pre>
