AW: [omniORB] ORBendPoint for dynamic interface configuration

[Kiesswetter, Florian (Florian)]

Duncan,

seems our expectations didn't fool us. After retesting, it works correct and listens on every interface, even if they are configured dynamically.
It was my mistake that it failed, as I specified an additional invalid endPoint which lead to the exception.

Thanks, and sorry that I didn't notice this mistake before posting.
Florian
