Cannot connect to 6.3 orbix server from orbixweb 3.3.4 client.

Hi All,

I have ported my application to 6.3 orbix running on linux and it is a
transient server registered with the naming service.I have used
implicit activation(using _this()) on the server side. I have a orbix
3.3.4 client running on windows connecting to this 6.3 server. Im able
to resolve the name using the naming service reference and even narrow
it down to the correct type. I verified both the iors (using iordump)
for the reference,on the server as well as the client side. They look
alike except for the fact that one was Little Endian and the other was
Big Endian. But when i make the first call on the resolved/narrowed
reference, the call just hangs. Im not sure what the problem could be.
Can someone suggest what might be wrong.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ajay.

And i also see these messages in the server logs.. when the 3.3.4
client disconnects..

My guess is that you are forgetting to call activate() on the POA
manager before you call orb->run(). Because of this, the POA manager
is remaining in its default state (HOLDING) so it is queuing up all
incoming requests rather than dispatching them.

Hi Ciaran,

Thanks for responding.
This is what my code looks like. I have a couple of poas created from
the root_poa and implementing different policies.

PortableServer::POAManager_var mgmt_poa_manager= mgmt_poa-
>the_POAManager();
mgmt_poa_manager->activate();

PortableServer::POAManager_var session_poa_manager=
session_poa->the_POAManager();
session_poa_manager->activate();

PortableServer::POAManager_var root_poa_manager= root_poa-
>the_POAManager();
root_poa_manager->activate();

GSPTINFOM << "Starting Orbix run loop" << GSPTENDL;

while (1)
{
if (orb->work_pending()) {
orb->perform_work();
};
}

I changed the while loop to orb-> run and checked.. it still doesnt
work..
Is there any other specific config parameter/policy i need to
implement for interoperability..
I have implemented this as a transient server.. should i reimplement
this as a persistent one..
Please suggest..

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ajay.

And when we debugged the client java code.. we come to a point where
we get a BAD TYPECODE exception.

Hi All,

I was able to resolve this issue. There was another thread which was
blocking and taking up all of the cpu. The orbix one was blocked. And
hence the request didnt arrive. Thanks for all your help Ciaran.

Best Regards,
Ajay.
