I'm trying to register to a CORBA CosNotification Service. In the documentation of the service I'm trying to connect to, it says I have to a CosNotifyComm::SequencePushConsumer object, and attach it to the notification service. I've included my code, and the error I'm getting back.

I'm not really sure what's happening. I think maybe that the object I'm trying to marshal is different from what the server expects? I hope someone can help, let me know if you need more information or if I missed something.

UPDATE # 2
Thanks to Brian for posting that version of the document. I took the IDL from there, and with a minor adjustment I was able to call attach_push with my objNotiServer. My next question is about how I can set my AlarmClient up to receive these notifications. My assumption is that I can call orb.run() and then when notifications come in, I will receive them in my IRPManager object, is that right?
CORBA::MARSHAL exceptions usually occur because of one of these reasons:
Reason #2 is really unlikely nowadays, as ORBs have matured enough that this rarely happens. As long as you're using ORB products on both the client and server side that were built in this century then you're probably ok. That leaves reason #1.
The IDL for the method you're calling is (I believe) from this document, and looks like this:
interface NotificationIRPOperations {
NotificationIRPConstDefs::SubscriptionId attach_push (
in Object manager_reference,
in long time_tick,
in NotificationCategorySet notification_category_set,
in string filter
)
raises (Attach, ParameterNotSupported, InvalidParameter, AlreadySubscribed,
AtLeastOneNotificationCategoryNotSupported);
Note the first parameter, it's of type Object. However in your code, you're passing a string. However the IDL type Object maps to org.omg.CORBA.Object in Java, not to a String. I would have expected to see you pass objNotiServer instead for this parameter.
So either your IDL is mismatched with what your server is expecting (likely), or your IDL compiler isn't following the basic IDL-to-Java mapping rules (unlikely).
Either way, something smells bad there. I don't believe that the ORB will implicitly call ORB.string_to_object() for you, so that would lead to a regular string being sent on the network when the server is actually expecting a stringified Object reference. The difference is subtle but it might be the reason why the server is throwing a MARSHAL back at you.
So your first port of call should be a check on the IDL file that you're using to build your client. Make sure that you've got the exact and correct IDL for the server you're trying to call. If there's any mismatch at all then MARSHAL exceptions will happen, and happen a lot.
