[omniNotify] resolving Notification Service

[Andy Goetz]

Hi,

thanks a lot for the answer. I think my problem now is with the
connect_structured_push_supplier(). All examples I have seen show you can
use CosNotifyComm::StructuredSupplier::_nil() as argument but it fails
with a CORBA:SystemException under omniNotify 1.2. I do not fully
understand the example which is delivered with omniNotify. Things like
_this() are a mystery to me. That is why I tried to write a simple example
from scratch. I guess I will have to hack the omniNotify example to get
something working even if I don't understand all the code.
