thank you for people's help:)
I have handle the problem that can't read data from server.
I modify the read function in the idl file:

      int read([in, out, size_is(len), max_is(256)] char str[], [in, out]
int *len);

and in the client-read side, malloc a array with 256
size(malloc(sizeof(char)*256)]),then there is no error in the read_component
function and I can read the data from  the server side which define a static
array.
