[omniORB] About ipv6 support

[Zhao, Jason]

Duncan,

I downloaded and installed omniORB 4.1.0 beta 1 this morning. It worked
fine for ipv4. But when I changed the file omniORB.cfg to use an IPv6
address as follows, 

InitRef = NameService=corbaname::1.2@[2001:411:2:5:1::]

it failed when starting the naming service with the error message:

[root at CONVERTER-T bin]# ./omniNames -start
omniORB: ORB_init failed: Bad parameter
(NameService=corbaname::[2001:411:2:5:1::]) for ORB configuration option
InitRef, reason: Invalid argument, expect <ObjectID>=<ObjectURI>
Failed to initialise the ORB.

Any clue about what's wrong here? I tried 2001:411:2:5:1:: and
[2001:411:2:5:1::], same result.

Thank you.

Jason

omniORB 4.0.7 does not support IPv6. The current development snapshot of
4.1 does, however. I'm going to release beta 2 of 4.1.0 in the next few
days.

Cheers,

Duncan.
