Hello,
    We are using omniORB v2.6.1 on a linux RedHat v5.2 system, egcs
v2.91.57 compiler.
    One of the strucutures we pass back and forthe only achieves the
forth direction. When we attempt to retrieve the structure, we get a
marshalling error. Another ORB that we use (xerox PARC's ILU ORB,
CORBA/IIOP subset, C mapping) has no problem receiving the structure.
    The data in the structure ends up in a database. It is correct
there.
    The structure is somewhat large and contains mostly strings.
Attached is a file with code snippets from the IDL and C++ files.
    The omniORB server code builds the structure all right. It is at
the omniORB client end that things fall apart with
"IDL:omg.org/CORBA/MARSHAL".


Jim Moe
