[omniORB] Problems with method returning a complex structure

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Hi! There are several errors in your code. Try this:

updates * recordData_i::refresh()
{
  updates_var  Result = new updates();

  recordSequence& rs = Result->recordUpdates;
  rs.length(1);
  rs[0].recordName = (const char *) "JIM";

  fields&  fs = rs[0].recordFields;
  fs.length( 2);
  fs[0].fieldName = (const char *) "NITTY GRITTY";
  fs[0].value = (const char *) "HO-HO";
  fs[1].fieldName = (const char *) "ARTHUR";
  fs[1].value = (const char *) "POOP-POOP";

  return Result._retn();
}
