[omniORB] Asynchronous calls

[TURPIN Olivier]

Thanks to all for your interest:

In the case I use a thread to control the calls to the remote server
(without knowing it is connected...), would it be possible to use timeout=
s
in order to throw away the calls that could not arrived ? Or would it be
possible to know if the latest call arrived in order to cancel the
following before calling ?

Thanks

O. Turpin
