[omniORB] #pragma working on windows?

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Devin,

I run your sample through 2.7.1 and the output is fine, i.e. the repository
id is what one expected "IDL:com.visonael/testme/a".

omniORB never prepends "omg.org" unless it is told to do so by a prefix
"omg.org" pragma.

My guess is that your original IDL has included some CORBA services IDL
which would have the pragma defined and you do not reset the prefix by

#pragma prefix "com.visionael" 

after the include.

You can see omniidl2 is doing the right thing if you look into the
xDynSK.cpp file. The repository IDs are all there.
