[omniORB] wstrings get lost (OmniORB -> OpenOrb)?

[brk@jenkon.com]

Hi all, I'm trying to work with an OpenOrb server from OmniORB. When I =
call
a method declared like this:

		  float news ( in wstring s1 );

and implemented like this (java):

    public float news (String s1) {
	System.out.println("Received: " + s1);
	return s1.length();
    }

with code like this (python):

print calc.news(u"Hello there")

I receive a 0.0 in return. This is what prints on the server console:

Received:

So it seems that nothing's getting through. Here's the exchange in GIOP
terms:
