[omniORB] CORBA::Principal - IDL compilation error

[Senthil Kumar]

Hello omniORBers,

I am getting the following  error , when I compile the
IDL file ....

The idl file has the following lines :

// User name and authentication for security
  typedef sequence<octet> Ticket;
  struct AccessControl {
    CORBA::Principal user;
    Ticket authentication;
  };

The compilation error is as follows when I compile the
IDL file:

n:\omni\bin\x86_win32\omniidl -I..\..\..\idl -bcxx
-Coutput -v cmit.idl


//**************************

Could anybody explain what's causing the error ????
Is there any workaround for this problem

Thanks in advance
