RE: Orbaus Version problem with Tibco CORBA Adapter

Hi Christian:
 
Have you looked at using Artix to accomplish this integration?  Using
Artix, you can use the latest version of ORBacus and talk to Tibco
natively using Rendezvous as the communication mechanism.  You could
also use it to integrate whatever application you are evaluating with
the CORBA adapter in Tibco (or one of their other adapters).
 
You can give me a call, and we can discuss whether ORBacus or Artix
would be the best approach.

Subject: [OB-Users] Orbaus Version problem with Tibco CORBA Adapter



Hello, 

I have the following problem: 

For an evaluation project with Tibco CORBA Adapter 5.1.1 I loaded an
evaluation version of Orbacus 4.2.1 from Iona (including the evaluation
key). The platform is Windows XP.

Tibco announces, that only version 4.1.2 of Orbacus is supported by
them. 

I compiled Orbacus 4.2.1 setting the version flag to 412 creating dlls
files with version 412 in the filename (e.g. ob412.dll). The TIBCO Corba
adapter explicitly searches for dlls with such version number in the
name.

I followed the Tibco instructions for installation of the Orbacus
libraries and dll files. 

My problem: Trying to start the Corba adapter I get the error message
that a procedure entry jump point (originally in German:
"Prozedureinsprungpunkt") was not found in ob412.dll (the error message
listed a message text with
"...AcceptorConfig@POAManagerFactory@OBPortableServer@@..."). 

I contacted the Iona support and they answered that the reason would be
that Orbacus 4.2.1 is CORBA 3.0 compliant, whereas the Tibco adapter
does only support Orbacus 4.1.2 with (CORBA 2.3 compliance). I was asked
to switch to the correct supported Orbacus version 4.1.2.

My questions: 
1. Is this answer correct or is there a different problem? 
2. If the answer is correct, is it still possible to get Orbacus 4.1.2
as an evaluation or full product? 

Regards, 
Christian
