[omniORB] Re: value type: Marshall error

[Андрей Пучин]

Hello again!

Duncan, tao and omni generates different typecodes for valuetypes inserted in Any.

For example for IDL:
   typedef any QueryAttributeValue;

   enum LogicOperation {
       LO_OR
       , LO_AND
       , LO_NOT
   };

   valuetype QueryDictData {
       public LogicOperation operation;

   };

   interface SearchManager {
     long search (in QueryAttributeValue search_query);
   };

omni ORB client while invoking SearchManager.search operation generates this
message:

-->message part skipped

49 44 4c 3a 56 61 6c 75  65 54 65 73 74 2f 51 75   IDL:ValueTest/Qu
65 72 79 44 69 63 74 44  61 74 61 3a 31 2e 30 00   eryDictData:1.0.
0e 00 00 00 51 75 65 72  79 44 69 63 74 44 61 74   ....QueryDictDat
61 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  01 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00   a...............
6f 70 65 72 61 74 69 6f  6e 00 00 00 11 00 00 00   operation.......

-->message part skipped

but tao client generates:

-->message part skipped

-->message part skipped

I think that difference in generated typecode is field with comment about no stateful base valuetype (see below). Omni does not creates this field in typecode, but tao server sends marshalling error while this field not presented:

// TAO_IDL - Generated from
// x:\ace_wrappers\tao\tao_idl\be\be_visitor_typecode/typecode_defn.cpp:295

static const CORBA::Long _oc_ValueTest_QueryDictData[] = {

//-> some fields skipped
  ACE_NTOHL (0x61000000),  // name = QueryDictData
    0, // value modifier
  CORBA::tk_null, // no stateful base valuetype

1, // member count
//-> some fields skipped
};

Is this Tao or omni problem?
