[omniORB] invocation of a method fails.

[Rajshekhar Kishtaiah Chintapalli]

Thanks Duncan,

I didn't activate the POA in the Client, and that was the problem. (I am
writing Call back program).

One more Problem.

I store the ObjectRef of the Callback client using
CORBA::ULong PutIFace(IAFace_ptr aface);
Now how to get back this object reference , when  some other client makes a
call to the server askign for the reference of the first client.
I want some function like
	CORBA::ULong GetIFace(....) so that what ever is returned the second client
can use it.

In the  IDL i have declared the method as
unsigned long GetIFace(out IAFace aFace);

The correspoding signature thats generated on compilation of IDL is
something like this.
	GetIFace(_CORBA_ObjRef_OUT_arg< _objref_IAFace, IAFace_Helper > aFace)

How to go about implementing this?
Basically what i want is that all the clients that come up regiseter
themself  with the Server.
Also the clients will be querying the Server to return the Reference of some
other Client.

how to go about doing this..

Thanks and Regards
Raj

Perhaps you have forgotten to activate the POA in the server program?
If that isn't the problem, try running both programs with command
lines -ORBtraceLevel 30, and see what gets printed out.

Cheers,

Duncan.
