[omniORB] Object Factory

[David Riddoch]

Hi Ryan,


You cannot simply return an _var type -- it will hold onto the reference
and release it before the method returns.  Either use tempo._retn() or
even more simply do this:


   case TONE:
     cout << "Making a new ThingOne!" << endl;
     tone = new ThingOne_impl();
     tone->_obj_is_ready( tone->_boa() );
     return tone->_this();


Hope that helps,
David
