[jacorb-developer] idl compilation errors for enums with different names but same element names

[Alka Nand]

Hi,

I have 2 idl files ethernetportypes.idl and ethernetporttypesR.idl  which
define enums which have different names but the entries are the same name.
Is there a compilation flag that I can set to get around this apparent
namespaces problem? Since Java allows this why is the idl compiler
complaining?

module EthernetPortTypes {

   /* Status for each port */
   /* Represents the led state of a EthernetPort
   The enum values map to the port type and its led status */
   enum* LinkStateR1_T* {
      /* Eth Port is down */
      *eETHLINKDOWN,*
      /* Eth Port is up but no TX/RX */
    *  eETHLINKUP,*
      /* Eth Port is up with activity */
     * eETHLINKACTIVE,*
      /* Eth Port State Unknown */
      *eUNKNOWN*
   };

ethernetportypesR.idl has the following

module EthernetPortTypes {
   enum *LinkState_T* {
      /* Eth Port is down */
      *eETHLINKDOWN*,
      /* Eth Port is up but no TX/RX */
     * eETHLINKUP,*
      /* Eth Port is up with activity */
     * eETHLINKACTIVE,*
      /* DSL Port IDLE Unconfigured */
      eIDLENOTCONFIGURED,
      /* DSL Port IDLE Configured */
      eIDLECONFIGURED,
      /* DSL Port attempting to connect with ATUR */
      eRUNNINGACTIVATION,
      /* DSL Port busy establishing link */
      eRUNNINGINIT,
      /* DSL Port data transport is active */
      eRUNNINGSHOWTIMEL0,
      /* DSL Port Testmode is active */
      eTESTMODE,
      /* DSL Port Loop Diagnostics Init Ongoing */
      eRUNNINGLDINIT,
      /* DSL Port Loop Diagnostics complete */
      eIDLELDCOMPLETE,
      /* DSL Port data transport active in L2 Power Mgmt Mode */
      eRUNNINGSHOWTIMEL2,
      /* Eth/DSL Port State Unknown */
      *eUNKNOWN*
   };


I am seeing the following idl compilation error
