[omniORB] multiple calls to same method

[Zurek, Jan]

Duncan,

thanks for your reply. After setting the parameters the problem went =
away.
The interesting thing still remains: we do not have an exception =
handler for
COMM_FAILURE exception! So from our code there is no retry. BTW the
COMM_FAILURE exception is thrown some time after the second call. I had =
a
quick view at the source code but I did not come very far. I suspect
something is wrong in a method called "setStrindIsDying"?

Why is this functionality being added anyway?
