Description Ossama Othman 1999-07-26 18:38:08 CDT 
A new spec for Dynamic Any has been published and will probably be part of CORBA
2.4. There are a great many changes, leaving almost no area of the current
implementation untouched.

Jeff is the DII/DSI expert, he is better qualified to comment on this bug.
Comment 2 Jeff Parsons 1999-08-09 13:49:59 CDT 
I've been told that we should wait at least until 2.4 comes out, in case it
changes again. In any case, it will be at least a month before I can even think
about this, although I would like to be the one to do it eventually, if only to
improve the code I originally wrote as a DOC group novice.
Comment 3 Jeff Parsons 1999-08-09 16:07:59 CDT 
My mistake, the changes are part of the final 2.3 version, but the rest of my
previous comment still applies.
Comment 4 Carlos O'Ryan 2000-02-27 17:05:59 CST 
The new specification for DynAny removes all the factory methods from the ORB
and uses a separate interface to create the DynAny objects.
This class is obtained using resolve_initial_references() making it a prime
target for the approach proposed in bug #451: if the class can be dynamically
loaded then DynAnys won't have to be linked in by applications that don't
need them.
