Hi,

I'm generating the stubs with a program bundled with the Java compiler called
IDL2Java for the sole purpose of generating documentation for the CDA. I took
the IDL files in the interfaces directory of the CDA. I like to be able to
see all of the available methods in a library in Javadoc style. As a
by-product, the program generated CORBA stubs that have the queryInterface
method, so I initially thought I may be able to do something tricky with
those stubs and a few inheritance tricks. However, without multiple
inheritance, I don't see a way to subclass both the IObject necessary for
queryInterface and the RDFRepresentation class created for the Java bindings.

Unfortunately, I don't speak C++ at all, so my implementing it would probably
take longer.

Yes, this oversight effectively stops all of my work with the CDA, since my
primary motivation is to semi-automate the annotation of CellML models with
RDF. I would really appreciate any work on this problem. I'll be following
the tracker item with bated breath and high anticipation. :)

Thanks,
Morgan
