Created attachment 1318 [details] C++ TAO client and Java JacORB server (1) A TAO 1.8 client connects to JacORB 2.3.1 server via a nameservice. (2) The JacORB server triggers a callback with an Any type argument. Into this Any type is inserted a valuetype which has a member that is a sequence of another valuetype with a length of more than one, i.e. an IDL like the following: module simple_def { valuetype simpleObject { public string string1; }; typedef sequence<simpleObject> simpleObjects; valuetype seqObject { public string string2; public simpleObjects seq; }; }; (3) The TAO client fails to marshal the Any with a debug error message "TAO_Marshal_String::skip detected error" (4) If the previous steps are repeated with the sequence member having a length of one or zero then the error does not occur. Please find attached the source code for a relatively simple C++ client and Java server that was used to reproduce this problem.
