I am writing a client to interface with a third party application via their corba interface. The way the client works is that it obtains a Connection object from the server (third party app), and provides a callback object that implements an method called "processMessage". The server invokes processMessage, providing an argument of type "Any", when it has a message for me to process.
Inside my callback object, I write the processMessage method to extract data from the Any and process it. I am trying to write the received data to persistent storage, so that it can be processed by another application. Because the classes generated by the IDL (which I could extract from the Any) are not serializable, and the Any itself is also not serializable, I'm having trouble determining how to write the object to persistent storage without doing a field by field move to a new object I'd create that is serializable. I don't want to do this becasue this would make my code difficult to maintain when new objects are passed to me via the Any.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
