[omniORB] Sequence type in IDL of omniORB

[janarbek]

Dear all,

Does IDL suppor array? I failed in generating stubs in following IDL. How can I use array in IDL?

interface shortTest{

short[] returnShort();
};

Regards,

Janarbek.

And does the synatax of IDL of omniORB is same with CORBA IDL?

Yes, omniORB is an implementation of CORBA, so omniORB IDL is the same
as CORBA IDL.

It's well documented. Why not look it up?

Use sequence<type> for arrays. You'll need to typedef it for the
method, i.e.:

typedef sequence<short> shortarrary;
....
shortarray returnShort();

There are two errors in your IDL:
1. Arrays have fixed bounds, so you have to supply the size of the array
between []. Otherwise you must use a sequence.
2. In an operation (method) declaration you can't use a complex type like
an array, sequence or struct. You must give them a name with typedef.

interface shortTest{
typedef short shortarray[10];
shortarray returnShort();
};
