[omniORB] How to recover from "A servant has been deleted tha t is still act ivated"

[Mark Johnson]

I think I found my problem, it was passing the ORB_ptr twice (???), when I
collapse Initialize() down into server() my problem went away. The problem I
think is that I passed initially a reference to Initialize() and then a
pointer to BindObjectToName().  I was confused about how to pass around the
ORB_var ...

CORBA::Boolean BindObjectToName( CORBA::ORB_ptr aOrb
                                  , CORBA::Object_ptr aObjRef
                                  , std::string & aErrMsg )
{
	<...snip..>      
	CORBA::Object_var obj;
	// this is the line throwing the exception...
	obj = aOrb->resolve_initial_references( NAMESERVICE );
	<...snip..>
}
int Initialize( CORBA::ORB_var & aOrb
                 , Echo_i * aServant
                 , std::string & aErrMsg ) 
{
	<...snip..>      

 	CORBA::Object_var nameServer;
	nameServer = aOrb->resolve_initial_references( ROOT );

	<...snip...>
 	if( !BindObjectToName(aOrb, obj, aErrMsg) )
 	{
 		aErrMsg += "\nfailed to bind object to name.";		
 		return 0;
 	}
 	<...snip...>
      return 1;
}
int server( int argc, char * argv[] )
{
    <...snip...>
 	CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init( argc, argv, "omniORB3" );
	Initialize( orb, echo, errmsg );
    <...snip..>
    return 0;
 }
