[omniORB] Invalid TypeCode..

[Armin Gerritsen]

I had a similar problem with omniORB 2.8.0 and Visbroker 3.x.
I ended up setting teh follwing line in my omniORB servercode:

CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv, "omniORB2");
boa = orb->BOA_init(argc, argv, "omniORB2_BOA");

omniORB::useTypeCodeIndirections = 0 ; //added line

DataManagerImpl *impl = new DataManagerImpl( argv[1] ) ;

Regards,

Armin
