[omniORB] Help: Narrow reference does not work but Unchecked_Narrow works, what can cause this problem

[Chang, Quansheng (NAM RC-CA IC-MOL IL ENG1)]

I'm using Omni ORB 4.16. I'm trying to using some interface from third party. The third party use Omni ORB 4.14 ( the naming service and omniidl ).

I can register my interface and resolve it and narrow it without any problem. But I cannot narrow the interface reference from the third party. I have to use _unchecked_narrow.

The third party cannot narrow my interface reference either. I tried to use option -Wbold to recompile the idl, but it does not help.

Could you please give me any suggestions? What caused the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Laurence

I can register my interface and resolve it and narrow it without any
problem. But I cannot narrow the interface reference from the third
party. I have to use _unchecked_narrow.

The two ends disagree about the repository ids for the interfaces. Every
interface has a repository id that is used during narrowing. e.g. for
this IDL:

module Example {
interface Test {};
};

The repository id of the Test interface is "IDL:Example/Test:1.0".
Somehow you don't have matching repository ids.

One way to see the repository ids is to get the text form of the IORs
with orb->object_to_string() and then give it to the catior tool.

Cheers,

Duncan.
