[omniORB] sequences and java

[lojewski]

hallo!
i want to transfer a byte stream from a server to a client. here is an
example:

typedef sequence<char> ImageData;
interface Jvcl {
  ImageData getImage();
};
because the size of the image can change i use a sequence. on the java
client side i do:
char[] data = ref.getImage(); its ok !
on the server side, there is a global pointer to an image : char *image,
and a long variable l for the size of the image. the image is allocated
on the heap.

on the server-side i do this:

jvcl_i::getImage(){

ImageData *id=new ImageData();
id->length(l);
now i copy l bytes from the global image to id (is there a better way ?)

for(int i=0;i<l;i++)
(*id)[i]=image[i];
return id; now i transfer the data
}

i dont delete id , is this a memory leak ? or would id be destroyed ?
can i use the global image pointer to transfer the data directly and how
to do this ?
how can i transfer data from the stack in getImage method ?(e.g. char
c[500] is on the stack)

thanks cl.
