Hi,
I am having problems getting Ethereal to display a simple corba interaction
between a client and a server. The packets are correctly identified as GIOP
in the protocol field and it displays General Inter-ORB Protocol and General
Inter-ORB Protocol Request/Reply fields but nothing is parsed using the idl.
What am I running? My system is a debian based laptop with a 2.6.1 kernel.
The packet trace is made on an IBM rackmount running redhat with a 2.4.24
kernel.
I have tried the debian distribution of 0.10.0, self compiled 0.10.0a,
0.9.16 and 0.9.14. Same outcome from all of them. The idl file in question:
interface MyObject {
void setChangeMe(in long value);
long getChangeMe();
};
interface Container {
MyObject getMyObject(in long index);
};
I ran it through idl2eth (whatever version is packaged with the version of
Ethereal I was trying) and produced packet-test.c. I added packet-test.c to
the plugin/giop directory and changed the Makefiles to include it in the
compile. When I run ethereal, help->[supported plugins] shows the test
plugin. help->[supported protocols].[display filter fields] tells me it is
there but that it has no fields:
TEST - Test Dissector Using GIOP API (giop-test) [0 fields]:
Any ideas? I am fresh out. Should supported protocol show any fields?
The omniidl I have installed is version 1.0. Help, please!
