The way that's endorsed by the CORBA standard is with the Codec
interfaces, but omniORB doesn't support that.

Instead, you can use the omniORB cdrStream classes. Look in
include/omniORB4/cdrStream.h at cdrMemoryStream and
cdrEncapsulationStream. You probably want to use cdrEncapsulationStream
to handle a CDR encapsulation that includes byte order information.

Hopefully it's obvious how to use them. Search through the code for
places they're used to see some examples.

Cheers,

Duncan.
