    Hi All,
    I am using ACE/TAO and having a general question regarding CORBA.
    I am facing the scenario where the CORBA server need to return same CORBA object again and again. I am facing server crash while returning the object after two to three times.
    I am creating and activating the object once and keep in memory. Then upon client request returning the same object. Hence it is kind of singleton
    object.
    Can anybody suggest whether the given strategy is wrong? Then what is the correct strategy in this scenario.

    Thanks & Regards
    Siddharth

    How exactly are you returning the object? (IDL and implementation code)

    Best,

    Hmm.. Maybe the _remove_ref() call causes the problem?

    To ensure that we have proper version/platform/compiler information,
    please make sure you fill out the appropriate problem report form (PRF),
    which is in

    $ACE_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM
    $TAO_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM

    or in

    $ACE_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM
    $TAO_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM

    in older versions of ACE, TAO, CIAO, and DAnCE. Make sure to include
    this information when asking any questions since otherwise we have to
    "guess" what version/platform/compiler/options you've using, which is
    very error-prone and slows down our responsiveness. If you don't use
    the PRF, therefore, it is less likely that someone from the core
    developer team will be able to answer your question. Naturally, we
    encourage and appreciate other members of the ACE, TAO, CIAO, and
    DAnCE user community who can respond to questions that they have the
    answers to.

    Please note, moreover, that the DOC group at Vanderbilt University
    only provides "best effort" support for non-sponsors who are using the
    latest release, as described in

    http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/ACE/docs/ACE-bug-process.html

    Therefore, please make sure you are using ACE+TAO+CIAO+DAnCE x.3.3
    (i.e., ACE 6.3.3, TAO 2.3.3, CIAO 1.3.3, and DAnCE 1.3.3), which you
    can download from

    http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu

    If you need more "predictable" help or need help for earlier versions
    of ACE+TAO+CIAO+DAnCE please see

    http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/support.html

    for a list of companies that will provide you with ACE+TAO+CIAO+DAnCE commercial support.

    Thanks,

    Doug

    Hi!
    Following is the psuedo code

    //MainCORBAImpl.h
    class CMainCORBAImpl
    {
    public:
    XServicePtr GetXService();

    private:
    XServicePtr m_XSvc;
    PortableServer::servant_var<Servant> m_pServant;
    };


    //MainCORBAImpl.cpp

    XServicePtr CMainCORBAImpl::GetXService()
    {
    try
    {
    if(m_pServant== nullptr)
    {
    m_pServant= create_servant();
    PortableServer::ObjectId *oid =
    m_poa->activate_object(m_pServant.in()); // ref count=2
    CORBA::Object_ptr retobj = m_poa->id_to_reference(*oid);
    m_XSvc= ::XService::_narrow(retobj);
    m_pServant->_remove_ref();

    if (::CORBA::is_nil(m_XSvc))
    {
    //throw exception
    }
    }
    }
    catch(...)
    {
    //throw exception
    }
    return m_XSvc;
    }

    The multiple calls to GetXService() is causing crash. The debugger points
    to the following CORBA skeleton code

    template<typename S_ptr,
    typename S_var,
    class Insert_Policy>
    CORBA::Boolean
    TAO::Ret_Object_SArgument_T<S_ptr,S_var,Insert_Policy>::marshal
    (TAO_OutputCDR &cdr)
    {
    return cdr << this->x_.in ();
    }

    Thanks & Regards
    Siddharth

    No. Tried with commenting remove_ref but it didn't help. Finally sending duplicated reference works.
    Thanks & Regards
