Hi Bjorn,

The problem is the method does not return true. It raises the exception. And
I hope you agree, that the main reason for using this method is to avoid an
exception before using the object reference.
Otherwise, I will just use the object and check for the exceptions.

Regards,
Marzenna

Hi Marzenna,

  If you look in the CORBA spec, you will find,
that _non_existent must throw an exception, if
it can not make a reliable determination of
object existence due to failure, but it has to
return boolean true instead of raising
OBJECT_NOT_EXIST(loosely quoted).
_non_existent is an ordinary method in all other
respects.
  OmniORB4 does the right thing, if i understand
correctly, and Mico is bugged;)

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn
