Abstract:  A org.omg.CORBA.OBJECT_NOT_EXIST: BAD_SERVER_ID exception is thrown back to a client when the clustermembers are recycled.

Description/symptom of problem:  When a client application holds onto a WLMable reference (a home object or a remote reference) and all of the clustermembers are recycled, a org.omg.CORBA.OBJECT_NOT_EXIST: BAD_SERVER_ID exception is thrown when the client attempts to use one of the held references after the clustermembers are available for service again.

The exception will look something like this:
