Hi, 

This is like CosNotification.
I have IDL definitions:

	typedef Istring PropertyName;
	typedef ANY PropertyValue;

	struct Property {
		PropertyName name;
		PropertyValue value;
	};
 
       typedef sequence<Property> PropertySeq;

       typedef PropertySeq OptionalHeaderFields;

       struct EventHeader {
		FixedEventHeader fixed_header;
		OptionalHeaderFields variable_header;
	};


when I monitor the corba traffic
"PropertyValue value" field shows just the names and types of the fields inside the ANY type
not the values of them at all:


...
TypeCode member name: ConfigId
TypeCode enum: tk_ushort (4)
String Length: 7
TypeCode member name: R3Id
TypeCode enum: tk_ushort (4)
String Length: 8
TypeCode member name: V4Id
TypeCode enum: tk_ushort (4)
String Length: 9
...

Is this desired behavior ?
It could be more useful, if "any" values are shown/opened in ethereal.
