Wiki Page: Encountered core dump on bank_agent example's Server when catching an exception

Problem: Product : VisiBroker 7.0 Platform : Unix and Linux Unable to catch thrown exception from POA- activate_object_with_id() and encountered a segmentation fault.  void CorbaManager::restart()  {      int nms_funcnumber=fncRESTART;      try {          NMSLog_traceLine( [DBG],nms_funcnumber);          myPOA- activate_object_with_id(managerId, pCmdReceiver );          NMSLog_traceLine( [DBG],nms_funcnumber);      } catch (const CORBA::Exception& e) {          NMSLog_traceLine( [DBG],nms_funcnumber); - Segmentation Fault here      } ... The exception was thrown when managerId already existed in active map when calling activate_object_with_id(). The customer also confirmed that the same problem occur on modified bank_agent's Server: Server.C:  try{ ...     // Activate the servant with the ID on myPOA     myPOA- activate_object_with_id(managerId, &managerServant);     // Duplicate above to throw PortableServer_POA::ServantAlreadyActive exception     myPOA- activate_object_with_id(managerId, &managerServant); ...   catch(const CORBA::Exception& e) {     cerr e endl; - Segmentation Fault here     return 1;   } Resolution: The segmentation fault is caused by a VisiBroker function _deactivate_object(), which tried to retrieve object reference which is out of scope in catch{} clause. To workaround: 1. Use try - catch block as below: ...     try {     // Activate the servant with the ID on myPOA     myPOA- activate_object_with_id(managerId, &managerServant);     // Duplicate above to throw PortableServer_POA::ServantAlreadyActive exception     myPOA- activate_object_with_id(managerId, &managerServant);     }     catch(PortableServer_POA::ServantAlreadyActive& e) {      cerr "Servant Already Active..." endl;     } ... 2. Change managerServant's scope to accessible from catch clause. In the customer's code, the root cause is pCmdReceiver has been out of scope in the catch clause.
