Wide strings do not exist in GIOP 1.0, so omniORB can't send them.

I think Visibroker has a proprietary wstring format for GIOP 1.0. If
so, and you can find out how it works, it would be possible to add a
code set to omniORB (in C++) that allows it to work. There's an
example in the contrib/Voyager directory that adds support for the
Voyager ORB's GIOP 1.0 wstrings.

Cheers,

Duncan.
