[omniORB] Question regarding CosNaming and Python/omniOrb

[Richard Gruet]

Steinar,

In your example, bindl and bindit are CLASSES instead of instances;
furthermore, they are OUT parameters, thus according to the std Corba/Python
mapping, they are returned packed in a tuple with the fct result. That is, in
your example you should call list() the following way:

how_many = 5000    # How much elements you may read without using the binding
iterator.
aBindingList, aBindIterator = rootContext.list(how_many)

-> aBindingList is a Python sequence of CosNaming.Binding instances (see
naming.idl).

Hope this helps,

Richard Gruet
