      public final class MARSHAL
      extends SystemException

  A request or reply from the network is structurally invalid. This error typically indicates a bug in either the client-side or server-side run time. For example, if a reply from the server indicates that the message contains 1000 bytes, but the actual message is shorter or longer than 1000 bytes, the ORB raises this exception. `MARSHAL` can also be caused by using the DII or DSI incorrectly, for example, if the type of the actual parameters sent does not agree with IDL signature of an operation.

  It contains a minor code, which gives more detailed information about what caused the exception, and a completion status. It may also contain a string describing the exception.

  See the section Minor Code Meanings to see the minor codes for this exception.

    JDK1.2
