[omniORB] Create org::omg::boxedRMI::seq1_octet_var Variable in C++ (octet per byte[])

[Jim Reilly]

I'm new to CORBA and extrememly rusty to C++  (especially to MS Visual Studio 2008).

I created 1 UML class in Visual Paradigm (VP) (UML Tool) with one method, then generated IDL from it  (I do not know IDL).

Here is the method:  
      public void sendThem(byte[] bytesToSend)

[notice the byte[])


My objective is to send from a Corba C++ client (stub) a byte arrry to a Corba Java service (skeleton).

NOTE: I have already been able to basically have this same method work, but sending a 'Long' vs a byte[].  So,
I have some successful experience getting it to work.

VP created 2 IDL files:  TestService.idl  and seq1_octet.idl.   (NOT sure why 2, meaning the seq1_octet)

After using omniidl to create c++ source and idlj to create java source, and used the template of \omniORB-4.1.3\src\examples\echo\eg3_clt.cc (from examples)  (It uses the COSS naming service to obtain the object reference) to kick start my client  [as I did already correctly with the 'Long'  parameter test noted above].


>From the example in : eg3_clt.cc as a basis, the problem I am having is trying to create (hardcode for now) an octet that will work with org::omg::boxedRMI::seq1_octet.  Per this c++ SK method

     void springfw::_objref_TestService::sendThem(org::omg::boxedRMI::seq1_octet* aBytesToSend)\



When calling it, I want to do this:

e->sendThem(buf);

How do I create my buf variable?

These do NOT work:  (or combinations there-for of)

org::omg::boxedRMI::seq1_octet_var buf;

buf = 055;

CORBA::Octet *p = new CORBA::Octet[7];

buf = *p;

Octet oct = 040;
CORBA::OctetSeq_var src = oct;


Any help would be much apprecaiged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The error on the compile, is this:
1>c:\backup\cpp\pubber\pubber\pubber.cpp(64) : error C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'int' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
1>        c:\downloadextract\omniorb-4.1.3\include\omniorb4\valuetemplatedecls.h(106): could be '_CORBA_Value_Var<T,T_Helper> &_CORBA_Value_Var<T,T_Helper>::operator =(T *)'
.....


that points to this line: 
  buf = 01;

where buf is defined like this:
 org::omg::boxedRMI::seq1_octet_var buf;   (above where I assign it to 01)


NOTE:  Weird thing is if I set buf = 00, it all works (no compile problem), but on the java corba svc side, it spits out null  when I output what it receives..

Any ideas?????
(That is how do I instantiate a buf of type: org::omg::boxedRMI::seq1_octet_var  or whatever...???????)


Thanks,
Jim
