[omniORB] how to catch COMM_FAILURE exception

[Aida Fátima Cano]

I have the following code: A Client sends a request to a server (Method_1);
then, this server, workins as a client, makes a request to another Server.

Why the application, in debug mode, doesn't reach the catch statments If,
while waiting method_2 to return, TCP communications fail?


CORBA::Boolean CDT_CS_Request_i::Method_1()
{
try
{
CCS_DT_Request cesionRequestObj();
aceptado = cesionRequestObj.Method_2();
}
catch(CORBA::COMM_FAILURE& ex)
{
cerr << "Caught CORBA::COMM" << endl;
return false;
}
catch(CORBA::SystemException&)
{
cerr << "Caught CORBA::SystemException." << endl;
return false;
}
catch(CORBA::Exception&) {
cerr << "Caught CORBA::Exception." << endl;
return false;
}
catch(omniORB::fatalException& fe) {
cerr << "Caught omniORB::fatalException:" << endl;
return false;
}
catch (...)
{
}

Thanks

Your code should correctly catch the exception. What happens instead?
What platform and compiler are you using? Do the omniORB echo examples
work? What does eg2_clt do if you try to run it with the IOR for a
server that you have stopped? It should report a TRANSIENT exception.

I have put a breakpoint in the line inside each catch statment and in the
return statement of the method but the ejecution never reachs them.

I'm working under windows, using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler (version 6.0
).

I've prove if the code catchs any exception if I stop the server, and it
does.

The only error I can't catch is the COMM_FAILURE. I can't follow the thread
since th net falls down, so I don't know if these threads are still alive or
not.

Thanks a lot.

There's nothing different about COMM_FAILURE compared to any of the
other exceptions that are thrown. Something is obviously wrong with your
C++ runtime environment, causing it to miss the exception. Check that
your compile options match the options that omniORB's examples use.
