[omniORB] OmniOrb and CP1252 (Windows Latin 1) vs. ISO-8859-1

Tue Oct 14 17:20:27 BST 2008

Hi All,

Following Duncan's instruction, I have built the CP1252 support into
OmniORB 4.1.1. (I'd like to volunteer myself to build the other codesets
tables after I made sure this one's working properly. :-))

1. I added the generated cs-cp1252.cc into the omniCodeSets411_rt.lib,
and linked my application with this lib. The omniORB parameters dumped
at the starting time are:
omniORB: Version: 4.1.1
omniORB: Distribution date: Sun Oct  7 16:41:47 BST 2007 dgrisby
omniORB: My addresses are:
omniORB: 172.16.2.143
omniORB: 127.0.0.1
omniORB: The endPointPublishAllIFs parameter is deprecated.
omniORB: Use an endPointPublish specification instead.
omniORB: Maximum supported GIOP version is 1.2
omniORB: Native char code sets: GBK SNI-EDF-4 IBM-500 IBM-037
windows-1252 windows-1251 ISO-8859-10 ISO-8859-9 ISO-8859-8 ISO-8859-7

ISO-8859-8(1.2) ISO-8859-7(1.2) ISO-8859-6(1.2) ISO-8859-5(1.2)
ISO-8859-4(1.2) ISO-88
2) ISO-8859-2(1.2) UTF-8(1.2) UTF-8(1.1) ISO-8859-1(1.2) ISO-8859-1(1.1)
ISO-8859-1(1.0).
omniORB: Native wide char code sets: UTF-16.
omniORB: Transmission wide char code sets: UTF-16(1.2).
omniORB: Information: the omniDynamic library is not linked.
omniORB: Current configuration is as follows:
omniORB:   DefaultInitRef (file) =

omniORB:   unixTransportDirectory = /tmp/omni-%u
omniORB:   unixTransportPermission =  777
omniORB:   useTypeCodeIndirections = 1
omniORB:   verifyObjectExistsAndType = 1

2. I have another Java ORB application, with the resolved IOR:
Type ID: "IDL:ConnectionBroker/CBFunctions:1.0"
Profiles:
1. IIOP 1.2 NPS00004 12356 ".......
....................RootPOA.....CB_poa..............."
            TAG_CODE_SETS char native code set: UTF-8
                          char conversion code set: UTF-8
                          wchar native code set: UTF-16
                          wchar conversion code set: 0x05010001

When the JAVA ORB sending the data to the OmniORB application, I was
expecting the OmniORB application set the TCS to windows-1252 based on
the NativeCharCodeSet configuration. But I actually got [UTF-8], the
OmniORB log message as below.

10/14/2008 16:06:07 4332:4108 [DEBUG] omniORBLog(): OmniORB log message:
omniORB: Receive codeset service context and set TCS to (UTF-8,UTF-16)

Is there anything I can do to force the OmniORB to set the TCS to
(windows-1252,UTF-16)? I can't do it on the Java side, the JAVA ORB
doesn't support the windows-1252 codeset at all.

Thank you very much in advance!
