Troubleshooting tips


Problem Potential solution / explanation
The ODA Select Source screen (see Figure 17) appears blank with no CORBA objects to select for generating business objects. Verify which IDL to Java proxy class compiler you are using, and make sure that it is supported by the connector. Currently, the connector supports only the IDL2Java IDL compiler tool of Borland VisiBroker 4.5.

Verify that the pathname for the IDL2Java IDL compiler tool is specified correctly in the IDLToJavaTool property of the Configure Agent. For details about this property, see Table 17.


The message {1}: Found IDL type of {2} in file {3}. This is not a known IDL type. Could not determine IDL type appears because a CORBA fixed data type has been found during IDL compilation. The CORBA fixed data type is not supported by the IDL2Java IDL compiler tool, hence the ODA does not support generating a business object with an attribute that represents a fixed data type.

Verify which IDL to Java proxy class compiler you are using, and make sure that it is supported by the connector. Currently, the connector supports only the IDL2Java IDL compiler tool of Borland VisiBroker 4.5.


The ODA failed to generate Java proxy files from the CORBA IDL file, for whatever reason. Run the IDL2Java IDL compiler tool (idl2java.exe) manually, outside of the ODA, and then compile the resulting Java files manually, using javac.
