Probelm in marshaling Any with typecode/value of struct

[Ajay Kapoor]

Hi , 

      I am trying to pass a structure as CORBA.Any. I am constructing the
TypeCode using the stringified Fnorb id. 
      But at the runtime while sending the corba request I get the
marshaling error for CORBA.Any 
     Here is the code snippet for what I am doing 

    idl definition 
----------------------------------- 
     module agent { 

             interface GenericAgent 
                { 

                      struct NameValuePair 
                        { 
                         string name; 
                          any value; 
                    }; 
                struct Subnet 
                { 
                    string address;  /* 32 bit mask  */ 
                    short mask;      /* 0..32        */ 
                }; 
           } }; 

Now I am trying this 

  # got the corba object reference some how 
     agent =  reference 
     sn_tc =CORBA.TypeCode("IDL:cosinecom/agent/common/Subnet:1.0")  #
string is the Fnorb generated ID 
     srcSubnet =
agent.NameValuePair("sourceSubnet",CORBA.Any(sn_tc,Subnet("3.3.3.3",24))) 
...... 
     # making the request 
      agent.createObject(srcSubnet) 



------------------------------------------------------------------ 

I have also tried using 
tc=  CORBA.TypeCode(CORBA.id(Subnet) )  to construct the typecode and use it
with Any . But that also failed. 

I am getting the following error in all the cases. 

 File
"/vobs/orion/cosine/agent_cli/generated/fnidl/cosinecom/agent/__init__.py",
line 85, in createObject 
    apply(request.invoke, args, kw) 
  File "/dvlp/akapoor/Python-1.5.2/Lib/site-packages/Fnorb/orb/DII.py", line
160, in invoke

  File "/dvlp/akapoor/Python-1.5.2/Lib/site-packages/Fnorb/orb/TypeCode.py",
line 216, in _fnorb_marshal 
    cursor.marshal('L', self._kind.value()) 
AttributeError: 'string' object has no attribute 'value' 


Can somebody help me. 

Thanx
