May be you can open a bug report for this in the tracker.
It should be fairly easy to fix.

Why would you?
Just throw the modified file here on the list ?

do not expect too much concerning the DDM since we did not test
it lately :-(

May be you can post a patch?

from the command line something like:

cvs diff -uR > certi-java.patch

should be ok to generate a valid patch.
You may attach the patch to the Java port tracker.

By the way for others, I'm working on massive clean-up
patch for Message_* in CERTI C++.
After the work is done Message_xxx will look pretty much
like Network_Message_xxx.

By the way
Nice work Andrej we are near to a usable Java Binding for CERTI
