Re: Using the Object in the server

[Sadi Yigit <sadi bwh harvard edu>]

Thank you for you answer Michael,

but I don't want to use a CORBA-function, though I want to change the data of
the object on the server side (the server does the changes), so I would need
something like:
 Calculator->status = "rrr" (but this is not working).
Do you (or someone else) know how I can do this?
Greetings,
Sadi.
