Does CORBA::ORBIT place any constraints on the IIOP?

[Anders Selander <selander pdc kth se>]

Hello,

I have learned some more since 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orbit-list/2002-March/msg00098.html and
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orbit-list/2002-April/msg00023.html (among
other things that there are a orbit-perl-list too).

I eventually got a Java-server and a Perl-client working, the Java in
question being jdk1.2, residing on a Solaris-machine on my old university.

Comparing the IOR:s of the simple example produced with jdk1.2, 1.3.1, and
1.4.0, I realised that they all use different revisions of IIOP -
jdk1.2 uses IIOP1.0, 1.3.1 uses 1.1, and 1.4.0 IIOP 1.2. What does 
CORBA::ORBIT handle? I thougth ORBit at least worked with IIOP 1.0 and 
1.1?

If I switch on IPv6 in ~/.orbitrc, the client Seg-faults on the
corba object of jdk1.3.1 and 1.4.0. If I switch off IPv6, the client
just hangs when accessing the object, until one interrupts the server,
then the client immediatelt exits with:

selander aioli:~/src/perl/$ ./client.pl 
Exception: CORBA::COMM_FAILURE ('IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0')
    (0, COMPLETED_MAYBE)
   Communication failure


OK, but the client works fine when the server uses jdk1.2 on my old
university. What if I try with jdk1.2.2 on my office computer?

Then I get the following error:

selander aioli:~/src//perl/$ ./client.pl 
Exception: CORBA::UNKNOWN ('IDL:omg.org/CORBA/UNKNOWN:1.0')
    (3, COMPLETED_NO)
   The unknown exception

Why?

Any input appreciated.

Regards /Selander, a bit lost
