I'm afraid I can't help a great deal, but it's possible that OrbixWeb
isn't handling endianness issues properly. That would be one
explanation for the different MemBufferedStream contents. Another
possibility is that omniORB is using TypeCode indirections which
OrbixWeb doesn't understand.

Can you try transmitting different structures inside Anys to see if
you can come up with a minimal example structure which causes the
problem?

Cheers,

Duncan.
