[omniORB] Octet type

[Brecht Vermeulen]

Michel,

this code does this (bytestream is a sequence of octets) :

	
	click_router::bytestream_var errors = new click_router::bytestream;
	
	
	// now read the errors and return them
	ifstream errors_file(CLICK_ERRORS);
	errors->length(2000);		// start length of 2000 octets
	
	CORBA::Octet ch;
	CORBA::ULong i=0;
	while(errors_file.get(ch) ) {
		if (i>errors->length()-1) errors->length(i+500);
		errors[i++] = ch;
	};

	errors->length(i);
															
	errors_file.close();
	
	return errors._retn();

best regards,
Brecht
