The chances are that you aren't actually getting the CORBA::UNKNOWN
exception, but one of the other CORBA system exceptions. To get more
useful reporting, you can do the following:

  catch (CORBA::SystemException& ex) {
    cerr << "System exception: " << ex.NP_RepositoryId() << endl;
  }

It will print out the repository id of the exception you got, like

 System exception: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/OBJECT_NOT_EXIST

for example. This is, of course, omniORB specific.

It might help you track down the problem. As Sai-Lai has already said,
it's probably Orbix failing to understand the _is_a() call.

Cheers,

Duncan.
