[omniORB] Invalid TypeCode..

[Shawn Bisgrove]

Guys,

Version OmniORB: 3.0 Apr 20
Solaris 2.6


   I have a problem that I am stumped on and have not
been able to verify where the problem resides.  I am
working with an IDL to "go" against a black box system
running ORBIX 3.0.1.   The system requires the passage
of a DAG with nodes having a attribute_name and value.
 The value is of type ANY.  For one structure I pass
in the system's DAG validator tells me that the node
does not contain the appropriate type
GIAS::AlterationSpec.  After verifying that I had
initialized the node correctly, I have been talking
with an individual on the other systems development
team.  He thinks that it might be a typecode mangling
problem.  

Just as an aside, when I use JDK 1.3 idlj and send a
GIAS::AlterationSpec (using a similiar program) within
the DAG to this black box, everything works OK.

My next check would be to code a simple server
interface using OmniORB 3.0 (Apr 20) and use a java
client to verify that OmniORB can extract the
GIAS::AlterationSpec correctly.

I usually like to narrow down the problem to a line of
code before I ship it out to you guys, but I cant seem
to do any better than this at the moment.  Here is the
structure definition for a GIAS::AlterationSpec as it
exists for both systems.

= gias.idl ===========================================
#ifndef _GIAS_IDL_
#define _GIAS_IDL_
#include "ucos.idl"
module GIAS
{

typedef UCO::Rectangle GeoRegion;

typedef string          ProductFormat;
typedef string          ImageFormat;
typedef string          Compression;
typedef short           BitsPerPixel;
typedef sequence<short> RsetList;
typedef string          Algorithm;

struct ImageSpec{
        ImageFormat     ift;
        Compression     comp;
        BitsPerPixel    bpp;
        RsetList        rsl;
        GeoRegion       gr;
        Algorithm       algo;
        };

typedef sequence<ImageSpec> ImageSpecList;

struct AlterationSpec{
      ProductFormat          pf;
      ImageSpecList          isl;
      };
};
#endif //_GIAS_IDL_
=====================================================
= ucos.idl ==========================================
#ifndef _UCOS_IDL_
#define _UCOS_IDL_

module UCO
{
// Basic Geospatial  data types
//3D integer coordinate
  struct LongCoord
    {
      long x;
      long y;
      long z;
    };

// 3D floating point coordinate
  struct DoubleCoord
    {
      double x;
      double y;
      double z;
    };

  enum CoordinateType
    {
      TYPEDOUBLE, TYPELONG
    };

  union Coordinate switch (CoordinateType)
    {
    case TYPEDOUBLE:
      DoubleCoord d_coord;
    case TYPELONG:
      LongCoord l_coord;
    };

  struct Rectangle
    {
      Coordinate ul;
      Coordinate lr;
    };
};                              // End of module UCO

#endif // _UCOS_IDL_
====================================================

Any ideas??
