Thanks for the explanation.
I was drawn to error by a CosNotification.idl that had a line, like this:
EventType eventtype;
so I didn't bothered to check the specifications, since I thought "if
OMG releases this IDL, IDL itself must be case sensitive". I was wrong
(and I don't know why the CosNotification.idl we have is done like that)
and I should have checked the IDL specs.
Thank you,
Danilo Turina
