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 the IDLJ compiler tool of IBM Java ORB.

Verify that the pathname for the IDLJ compiler tool is specified correctly in the IDLToJavaTool property of the Configure Agent. For details about this property, see Table 12.


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 IBM IDLJ compiler tool does not support the CORBA fixed data type, hence the ODA does not support generating a business object with an attribute that represents a fixed data type. Verify which IDL compiler you are using, and make sure that it is supported by the connector. Currently, the connector supports the IBM IDLJ compiler tool.


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