[omniORB] Exception (probably due to my misuse of CORBA:: types)

[Renny Koshy]

I'm having a strange problem.  I get a system exception for the following
fragment (IDL, CODE and LOG all included).  However, I can't for the life of
me see what I'm doing wrong.  I'm using CORBA::string_dup() for strings.  Is
there anything else I should be looking at?

******** The IDL:

  typedef sequence <long> PinLengths;

  struct ANIResponse {
	 boolean       IsCustomer;
	 long          LanguageID;
	 long          MinDigitsForDNQuery;
	 long          MaxDNRetries;
	 long          ServiceType;
	 string        CardNumber;
	 float         Balance;
	 boolean       PlayBalanceMsg;
	 string        Plan;
	 long          CustomerNumber;
	 PinLengths    CardDigits;  // This is a list of ints
	 long          MaxPINRetries;
  };

************** The C++ code

Galeos::ANIResponse ar;

ar.CardNumber = CORBA::string_dup("");
ar.CustomerNumber = 0;
ar.Plan = CORBA::string_dup("");
ar.Balance = 0.0;

ar.CardDigits.length(1);
ar.CardDigits[0] = 10;

ar.LanguageID = acin->Language;
ar.ServiceType = acin->ServiceType;

// Temporary measure
ar.PlayBalanceMsg = PLAYBALANCE;
ar.MaxPINRetries  = MAXPINRETRIES; 

CL_LOG.LogMsg("Sending response back to client");

// Send a message back to the client with the ANI response

// rs->ModRef is defined as a Module_ptr and initialized using
CORBA::_duplicate

rs->ModRef->OnANIResponse(rs->Call, Galeos::GAL_MI_OK, ar);

CL_LOG.LogMsg("Releasing module reference");

***************** Log file of output:

In the log I see..

11/18/99 09:20:55: CheckANIAck() 0x00000002: Sending response back to client
11/18/99 09:20:55: CheckANIAck() 0x00000002: Caught a system exception.
11/18/99 09:20:55: CheckANIAck() 0x00000002: Leaving module

BUT the client gets the response.
