[omniORB] How to copy a corba struct with sequences?

[Mark Johnson]

I have built a C++ wrapper around a corba struct to carry temporary
information before passing it along, here is an excerpt of the class:

  class EventInfo
  {
  public:
	void copy( const Event & aEvent )
	{
		theEvent.identify = CORBA::string_dup( aEvent.identity );
		theEvent.priority = aEvent.priority;
		
		// how to copy the 'variables'?
	}
	const Event & getEvent() const { return theEvent; }

  private:
	Event theEvent; // corba struct
  };

the Event IDL looks like this:

  struct AttributeValue
  {
        string _Attribute;
        string _Value;
  };
  typedef sequence<AttributeValue> AtrributeValueSeq;
  struct Event 
  {
    string _identity;
    short  _priority;
    AtrributeValueSeq    _variables;    // Sequence a attribute values.     
  };

This is how I was copying the variables but the for() loop froze when I went
to add a new item to the sequence:

   for( int i = 0; i < aEvent.variables.length(); ++i )
   {
      AttributeValue av;    // Sequence a attribute values.
      av.Attribute = CORBA::string_dup( aEvent.variables[i].Attribute );
      av.Value     = CORBA::string_dup( aEvent.variables[i].Value );

      theEvent.variables[i] = av;  // program freezed here.....
   }

Anyway, if someone could help me with this or has a better idea as to how to
carry build the EventInfo class it would be very helpful...

thanks for your time!
