[omniORB] Getting something out of an exception

[Attila Pletyak]

I've started to use this type of solution some time ago, when I first 
read it on this list. But I've a question regarding this:

Can it be that with my User exception, defined in the interface, this 
solution does not work? I used to get an omniORB exception on the order 
of "Attempting to put a user exception in an Any failed." Should I 
define the <<= operator for my exceptions for this solution to work?

Thanks in advance,
