[omniORB] question on : is_nil()

[smitha smi]

Hello,

I have a code sequence as below

(1)

getObjectRef<dbServer, dbServer_var>(

iv_dbServRef,

FWDB_SERVER_OBJ);

=====> *iv_dbServRef *holds the object reference.

(2)

CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init(l_argc,l_argv);

orb->shutdown(true);

orb->destroy();

(3)

is *iv_dbServRef *still holds the reference*?
*

i tried using *CORBA::is_nil( iv_dbServRef )

*this call returns* false.

My question is , is it not suppose to return true?

Appreciate your quick response.

Thanks,

Smitha

You haven't told us what this function is doing, so I'll have to
guess... Presumably at this stage it has returned a valid object
reference.

Yes.

That is correct.

Why would it? Shutting down the ORB doesn't magically turn all your
object references into nil. If you try to invoke an operation on the
object reference, you'll get a CORBA::BAD_INV_ORDER exception telling
you that you can't use it once the ORB is shut down.
