I have the SAME version Java Corba Server application deployed on two different UNIX machines, BUT same version of OS Red Hat Linux. Connecting with the same client and sending a message I receive what looks like the correct reply, but with different codebase length message.
The communication is sync, client calls a method on the server object and the method returns an object.
Bellow are the two examples of reply message from the server1 respectively server 2:

It seems that in the first case it uses 2 bytes for a char, while for the second case it uses only one byte to encode a char(but not sure). On the second message the client fails to read this stream(even tough for me it looks okish)
The question is what config determines this? Both server IDL objects seems to have the same capabilities. The IDL for the client and the server is the same(same version). Both are Java applications, same version of JVM.
I'm sure it's something related to the server Linux machine(something that defaults to one or another), but don't know exactly what is triggering this behavior.
The version of Corba is Visibroker 8.5.
Can someone point me please to something, anything... :) What can I do on the server side(any config)? How about on the client side?
