[ace-users] ACE/TAO: Reasons for exception in create_policy()?

[Johnny Willemsen]

Hi,

Have you tried TAO\orbsvcs\tests\Security\Secure_Invocation? You need the
svc.conf file in that directory to load the SSLIOP library which then
results in the registering of the policy factory

> SYNOPSIS:
>     In the function create_policy() (see above) an exception 
> is thrown:
>     "IDL:omg.org/CORBA/PolicyError:1.0"
> 
> DESCRIPTION:
>     I tried this policies for the first time. My example code is just
>     a copy of the FAQ at: http://www.theaceorb.com/faq/index.html#141
>     It compiles fine but throws the mentioned exception.
>     After debugging I found that it fails in this code in the file
>     "policyfactory_registry.cpp" (create_policy()):
>     ...
>     if (this->factories_.find (type, policy_factory) == -1) {
>         // Policy factory corresponding to given policy type does not
>         // exist in policy factory map.
>         throw ::CORBA::PolicyError (CORBA::BAD_POLICY_TYPE);
>     }
>     //    ^ this throw throws and so my app fails.
>     ...
> 
> REPEAT BY: Just execute the testprogram. The failing code is:
>     ...
>     ACE_TRY {
> 	CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv);
> 	ACE_TRY_CHECK;
> 	CORBA::Policy_var policy = 
> orb->create_policy(Security::SecQOPPolicy,
> 						      no_protection);
> 	CORBA::PolicyList policy_list(1);
> 	policy_list.length(1);
> 	policy_list[0] = CORBA::Policy::_duplicate(policy.in());
> 	ACE_TRY_CHECK;
> 	CORBA::Object_var obj;
>     ...
> 
> SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:
