[omniORB] type Any

[JHJE (Jan Holst Jensen)]

Hi Christophe.

Glad to hear that you solved the problem.

Would you mind posting the solution (just how you encode the Variant String
on to the stream) ? I am sure it could be of use to some poor soul (like
myself :-) someday.

best regards

Hi,

Thanks very much for your help on our problem.

We finally solved the problem by inserting code in the visibroker auto 
generated files from idl (the modification is make each time by a simple 
patch program). If the element is a string, we do ourselves the encoding, 
using a combinaison of outputLong, outputChar and outputOctet...
And it works fine !

I think it was preferable to do that than to act on the server side since 
there is other ORB clients which connect to our server.
Moreover we may switch to a more recent version of Delphi with, I guess, a 
more recent of visibroker which will, I hope, gives us less troubles...

Thanks again,

Christophe de Vienne
