Hi,

As a first step pass the pointer to the boa (main function) as an argument
to your factory object's constructor, i.e.

counterFactory_i::counterFactory_i(CORBA::BOA_ptr boa)
{
  // within your counterFactory_i object you declare a private variable
  // CORBA::BOA_ptr _boa;.
  _boa = boa;
}

afterwards, your newCounter() should look like:

counter_ptr counterFactory_i::newCounter()
{
  // instantiate new object
  counter_i* c = new counter_i();
  // register object with boa (i.e tell boa that object is ready to
  // receive requests
  c->_obj_is_ready(_boa);

  
  counter_ptr ptr = c->_this();
  return counter::_duplicate(ptr);
}

That should work...

Hope it helps,

PS: I'm also a newbie so if there's something non-CORBA compliant
in this solution please feel free to complain about it! ;-)
