You might be able to run omniORB on that, as long as you can use an up
to date version of gcc. If you definitely need something smaller, I
think ORBit is probably your only option, unless you want to write
your own GIOP code. If you are only doing a little bit of CORBA stuff,
it's not too unreasonable to write the GIOP code.

Unfortunately, ORBit has a history of not being too bothered with spec
compliance...

This shows ORBit trying to invoke an operation called
"ORBit_get_type_id" on the object.

omniORB correctly throws BAD_OPERATION, since the operation isn't
defined in your IDL (I assume).

ORBit has another go, and incidentally unnecessarily sends the codeset
service context again.

The operation still doesn't exist.

ORBit gives up (or crashes) and closes the connection.


You need to find out why ORBit is trying to call a non-existent
operation and if possible, prevent it from doing so.

Cheers,

Duncan.
