Description Johnny Willemsen 2005-09-27 01:48:30 CDT 
Because of a user question I have started the debugger on
tao/orbsvcs/examples/rtec/rmcast. I start the exe with the following options:

 -ORBCOllocation global -ORBCollocatioNStrategy direct

What I now see in the debugger is that it crashes because cpb_ has the value 0xDEAD.

This happens when direct collocation is specified but no direct collocation stub
is generated by the IDL compiler. In the past we gave an exception instead of
just crashing with an access violation

Ossama, any proposals how to address this, then we as Remedy could fix this easier.

I won't have time to look at this issue for quite some time.  Reassigning to tao-support.

to Marijke, we will resolve with the following behavior:
- through poa collocation without through poa collocation stubs will lead to a corba exception
- direct collocation without direct collocation stubs will lead to a corba exception (not a crash like now)
- a new best collocation option will be added which will lead to the best optimization possible, direct when there are direct collocation stubs, if not, than through poa if through poa stubs are there, if not, than remote call will be used
