[omniORB] Structs in omniorb

[andrew.brown@bt.com]

Hi,

If anyone has experience of using structs with omniorb could you please see
if you can answer the following questions :

1) What are the pros and cons and implications of having the struct
definition inside the interface
definition as opposed to outside it?

2) What are the pros and cons of using the "any" type for return values
and parameters?

3) How can we be more specific on the valid struct(s) that an "any"
definition can take in?

4) If we have the struct definition outside the interface, can we simply
provide that in a separate
IDL?

Thanks for any information supplied.

Andy Brown.
