Seeing the server side method code will help.

Hi,
  Here is the code snippet:

static uancorba_SessionID
impl_uancorba_SessionManager_createConfigSession(impl_POA_uancorba_SessionManager *servant,
CORBA_Environment *ev)
{
        uancorba_SessionID retval;
          retval = CORBA_string_dup("TEST THIS OUT FIRST");
            return (retval);
}

In the idl, SessionID is defined, thus:
module uancorba {

  /** 
   * The SessionID is a unique identifier used to represent the user's session.
   */
  typedef string SessionID;
.....

}

I am using ORBit2 version number: 2.12.4.

Thanks a ton for all your help!!
