[erlang-questions] Corba Help

[Niclas Eklund]

Hello!

Check out the chapter "6.8 Typecode, Identity and Name Access Functions" 
in Orber's User's Guide:

http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/orber/ch_idl_to_erlang_mapping.html#id2277452

The record is defined in a generated hrl-file after you've compiled the 
IDL-file. Remember to include that file.

In fact, you should read all in "6 OMG IDL to Erlang Mapping", since it 
describe step by step how one should do.

The debugging chapter should also be helpfull - 
http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/orber/ch_debugging.html

You will probably find the IC backend erl_template rather usefull (will 
generate a complete call-back module). Note, it will overwrite any 
existing version of the *impl.erl file. Read more about it in chapter 6.

If possible you should use Light IFR when compiling the IDL files and 
starting Orber.

Best regards,

Niclas @ Erlang/OTP
