[omniORB] client side call timeout

[Jochen Behrens]

Hi folks,

I've a question about the client side call timeout that can be set in 
omniORB 3.0.4 with omniORB::callTimeOutPeriod. Unfortunately, that 
version only supports the setting of seconds.  In our project we have 
the constraint that the client call shall not lead to a block of the 
main thread of more than 200 ms.
One solution might be to delagate the call to another thread, to ensure 
non-blocking of the main-thread. For this approach we have to use/define 
callback objects. This would be our solution in case there is no other 
simple way/workaround.
However, we know that omnioRB 4 will support the setting of ms instead 
of seconds. That would fit our constraints, but since that version is 
only in beta state, our customer would not accept to switch from 3.0.4 to 4.

My Question is: Is it possible to patch the omniORB 3.0.4 with the 
omniORB 4 feature?  Has anyone a solution or an idea?

Any hints are welcome,
Jochen
