[omniORB] Problems with method returning a complex structure

[Andy Weber]

Thanks to both Sai-Lai Lo and Duncan Grisby for their rapid responses to
my questions.

Is there any *essential* difference between Sai-Lai Lo's recommendation:

>updates * recordData_i::refresh()
>{
>  updates_var  Result = new updates();
        ....
>
>  return Result._retn();
>}
and Duncan Grisby's (which was my original attempt):

> updates * recordData_i::refresh()
> {
>         updates         *Result;        // has to be new'd!!
> 
>         Result = new updates();
>         ...
>         return Result;
> }

I have now tried both, and both work fine.  I don't know why my original
didn't work originally!  It was probably because I was using the wrong
library as Duncan suggests.

Thanks once again.
