[omniORB] connect omniorb and visibroker

[Heinrich Götzger]

Steve,

thanks a lot, it works just as you adviced. I can see it all working in
the debug output.

The example isn't running even so because of some errors:
org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM:   minor code: 0  completed: No
        at EchoHelper.narrow(EchoHelper.java:37)
        at EchoHelper.narrow(EchoHelper.java:16)
        at Client.main(Client.java:17)

But I try to figure this one tomorrow. If I fail I'll start a new thread
;-)

One question remains, where can I find information like this (naming
service issues using differrent ORBS, all these ORBInitRef variables and
so on) in a book or on the web?

regards

Heinrich
