[omniORB] String_var and ostream operations.

[Óscar]

Hi,

Why do I have to cast a CORBA::String_var to print its contents:

CORBA::String_var s = CORBA::string_dup("Whatever!!!!");
cout << static_cast<char*>(s)[1] << endl; // fine
cout << s << endl; 			  // print address of s

Thanks and regards.
