[omniORB] Re: omniORBpy: Problem with IDL string type and iso-8859 encoding ...

[mcharest at sogetel.net]

Hi Gary Duzan and all,

* I believe I have found my problem!

* There is no problem with ISO-8859 encoding for omniORB.

* I seem to have a problem with reading French text from a Tk
entry widget.  The widget seems to corrupt my string and provokes
the CORBA BAD_PARAM exception when I send it over the CORBA bus.    

* I confirmed that omniORB was clear when by-passing my GUI and
sent French text directly as a CORBA call. 

* Sorry for the false alarm...  thank you for your suggestions nonetheless!

Regards, 
Michel

   The CORBA spec defines ISO 8859-1 as the standard encoding for
characters and strings.

   It sounds like you may have found a bug, but it is hard to say.
Can you post a small piece of code which recreates the problem?
