A little late, but just to let you know:
We also encountered problems with Any unmarshalling in a VisiBroker JAVA
client which in our case contains octet sequences. From our
investigations it seems to be related with Netscape's built-in
VisiBroker libs which seem to a pretty old version of that software.
Everything works fine e.g. with a stand-alone VisiBroker JAVA client,
with an omniORB client, a VisiBroker server (C++ or JAVA) etc. Any
combinations works accept a Webclient using Netscapes VisiBroker
classes.
