[omniORB] CORBA::Any marshalling endian problem

[Steve Donovan]

Hi guys,

Thanks to Duncan's tremendous support I've finally got a Omniorb C++
client running on my embedded Gumstix talking to a Java server. It
faultlessly handles the little-endian nature of the device, except when
I try to put stuff into a CORBA::Any.  If I put a double into an Any, it
will not arrive properly.

The workaround, of course, is to pass a octet sequence containing the
double (in bigendian format) and extract that on the server, but this is
less  than elegant.

Anybody hit similar problems?
