[omniORB] question on behavior of client on server restart - possible hang?

[Igor Lautar]

Hi All,

We are hunting down a problem with our client SW using omniORB (client and 
server are v4.1.1 on windows) for communication.

Our problem could be explained, if omniORB call does not return. We think we 
saw something like this in past, but are not sure.

My question is:
Is it possible (under certain circumstances) that client call hangs 
indefinitely? We do not have clientCallTimeOutPerid set (its 0).
Would it be possible that client ORB never detects that server is gone (other 
than one way calls)?

We suspect something like this may happen when servant is restarted, and call 
has already been waiting for some time.

Only reference I've found for this kind of behaviour is comment by Richard 
Hirst some time back: http://www.omniorb-support.com/pipermail/omniorb-
list/2007-January/028386.html, to which there were no replies, but it seams 
patch was applied to 4.1.1.

Thx for ideas,
Igor
