Well, I figured out my initial problems with in/out parameters but now have another.  My issue is that the code I am using in the bridge has some error handling.  In normal IDL the error is quietly handled and the output parameters are correctly returned, but in the bridge a JIDLException is thrown.  Everything on the IDL side still works correctly but the JIDLException prevents the values from being loaded back into the output parameters on the Java side.  Is there any way to get the bridge to ignore the error?  That would be preferable to rewriting the error handling in the IDL source.
