[omniORB] omniORB 2.5.0 and shared application libraries

[Tim Barbour]

Hi,

Is there any known problem with omniORB 2.5.0 developing applications
that use shared libraries ? Is omniORB2 generally known to work with
applications that contain shared libraries ?

We have several applications that run fine with static libraries.
Recently (very recently) we tried building them with shared libraries.
The resulting applications run, but when the client calls an operation
on the remote server interface, a CORBA::SystemException is thrown
(apparently in the client). The details are:

completed()=1
minor()=0
NP_RepositoryId()=IDL:omg.org/CORBA/BAD_OPERATION

We are using SunOS 5.6, Sun CC 4.2 and the ORL pre-compiled (for SunOS
5.5) omniORB 2.5.0 binary. Is it okay to use this omniORB binary with
SunOS 5.6 ?

Maybe we have done something lame with the compiler flags for the shared

libraries, but it's odd that the problem occurs just when invoking a
CORBA operation.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

Tim Barbour
