Detailed Description
This class finds illegal null values in corba parameters or return values, such as null strings inside structs. It uses java reflection to navigate the possibly nested data.
Motivation: On the server side of a corba call, the implementation cannot catch and evaluate the resulting marshalling or NullPointer exceptions, which are often very unclear about the cause of the problem. Thus to help with debugging, this class can be used to analyze return values or out parameters, and report possible problems in an understandable way. Alternatively, this class can also be used on the client side of a corba call, although it will be less useful there, because marshalling errors for client data produces rather tangible exceptions.
One CorbaNullFinder object must be constructed for every corba parameter / return value to be checked. Then calling the methods hasErrors() or getErrors() will run the check and report the result.

Constructor from the top-level corba parameter or return value. Must not be used for corba object references (e.g. offshoot references), which may be null, but cannot be distinguished from illegal null structs etc.
