The IDL for all the COS services is included in the omniORB
distribution in $TOP/idl/COS/ . The stubs for most of it, including
CosTrading, are built into the libCOS library.

The CORBA spec says that before you can use CORBA::TypeCode in IDL,
you must #include <orb.idl>. omniORB does not require that you do
that, but it does provide an empty orb.idl file in $TOP/idl, so files
#including it should work. Removing the #include works, but so does
adding $TOP/idl to the omniidl include path.

Cheers,

Duncan.
