Hmm. In your original message, you said the structure was

struct TraderEntry 
{ 
        string name; 
        string summary; 
        string help_url; 
        string ui_url; 
        string host; 
        string email_contact; 
        string language; 
        string type; 
        double quality; 
}; 

But the TypeCode you are receiving says the first member of the
structure is an object reference called "object_ref". Do you have a
mismatch in the IDL between JacORB and omniORB?  That would explain
why the extraction was failing.

What does parseCode() print is you give it _tc_TraderEntrySeq?  It
should match the one you get in the any, ignoring any aliases.

Cheers,

Duncan.
