Re: CORBA_string question

[Kuang-Chun Cheng <kccheng openate com>]

Do you mean the following code is correct ?

static
CORBA_string impl_HelloStr_(impl_POA_HelloStr *servant,
                            CORBA_string *outStr, CORBA_Environment *ev)
{
       *outStr = CORBA_string_dup("HelloOutString");
       return CORBA_string_dup("HelloReturnString");
}

And I don't need to call CORBA_free() ... the skel & ORB will take care of
them automatically? 

Thanks
KC
