[omniORB] Streaming Any's

[Kevin Bailey]

I understand there's no way to convert an Any to a stream of
bytes and back again portably (this side of CORBA 3.0). I was
going to use it for a persistence store which didn't know
anything about the things it was storing. It would need to store
user-defined structs, arrays, sequences, and the like. Does
omniORB have anything proprietary that can accomplish this ?

If not, is my best bet to write something myself using
DynAny's ? Or, since it seems like a very useful thing, has
someone already done this ?

Thanks,
