<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I can’t change the max message size with the options field in the CORBA::ORB_init() function.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">There is only one function in my program that would require big messages and I want to change the max message size programmatory when I would call this function and keep it on the default size otherwise. I found out that
the parameter which handles this stuff is named “giopMaxMsgSize” and that it can be read by calling “omniORB::giopMaxMsgSize()”. This is however a read parameter and I couldn’t find where to set it, until I stumbled upon this site
<a href="https://idlebox.net/2007/apidocs/omniORB-4.1.0.zip/omniORB/omniORB004.html">
https://idlebox.net/2007/apidocs/omniORB-4.1.0.zip/omniORB/omniORB004.html</a> and discovered that I already implemented 3 other parameters just like it, which seem to work. (verifyObjectExistsAndType, strictIIOP and oneCallPerConnection ).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Unfortunately tough it didn’t work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
