cannot send MicroSoft Word specific characters to CORBA Server

[s Joshi]

hello,

I am sending a String to CORBA Server. This String contains MicroSoft Word Specific chacters like this quotes �this is a test�. The CORBA Server gives me this exception

Corba error : org.omg.CORBA.DATA_CONVERSION vmcid: OMG minor coe: 1 completed: NO

I want to retain this character. Is there any way I can get rid of this CORBA exception?

Thanks.

did you define the file you are going to send in your IDL file as type string?

You need to use wstring or send your file as a sequence of bytes (octet).

recommended to read/write your file as array of bytes in Java (sequence<octet> in CORBA).
