[omniORB] interoperability with Orbacus 4

[Azariah Jeyakumar]

Hi,

It seems like omniORB interoperability with Orbacus 4 is limited.

An Orbacus 4 Java client is able to access objects implemented in omniORB
2.6, but C++ clients written in omniORB 2.6 or 3.0.1 cannot access objects
implemented in Orbacus 4.0.1/Java.

I stepped through the omniorb client stub code and found out that the
message size in the reply of the LocateRequest is -4 which, as an unsigned
number, is bigger that the MaxMessageSize acceptable to the omniorb client
and I get a COMM_FAILURE. Does anyone know more information about this
problem such as:

is this a more fundamental problem?
if not, is there a work around?

Thanks
Azariah
