Hello,
I'm trying to implement the corba transport in my Eigen::Vector typekit. The
wiki page [1] is quite clear about writing a corba typekit for static struct
types. However, I don't know exactly where to start for a dynamically sized
type such as an Eigen::VectorXd. My first idea was to look at the
std::vector<double> typekit -- which should be very similar -- but I didn't
see any reference to an idl file. I guess this is because the idl is
provided by the corba library itself?
Any hint is very welcome!

Writing corba transport for Eigen::Vector
Does the Eigen::Vector has size and capacity methods ?

As Adolfo said, there's no capacity method.

The EigenBase [1] class, which eigen dense vectors "inherit" from (in the
CRTP [2] sense) has a size method. AFAIK there is no capacity method.

You are using RTT v1, right? We should annotate those pages to indicate they only apply to v1 ...
There has been a bunch of ML traffic on Eigen + transports. There are several caveats (though not all may apply to a v1 toolkit), so I'd check those.
If you are using RTT v1 and still want to write a transport for a variable sized vector, then yes, the std::vector<double> approach would suit well. It's implemented inside of RTT v1 itself - look in rtt/src/Realtimetoolkit.cpp.

No I'm using RTT v2. I know that the wiki page doesn't directly fit with RTT
v2 but it nevertheless inspired me.

What is the RTT v2 way then?

oroGen handles Eigen fine (read: 100% automatically) through opaques.
That's how we do it in Rock.
The problem is that opaque support requires a bit of spec, something I
could not come up to support in typegen (could not get a "good" command
line syntax, and I'm not even sure it would be doable). If a typegen
user could look into it and suggest a solution there, that would be nice.

I am blissfully unaware of how to do it in v2 ... :-) ... cue Sylvain, Peter or Markus ...

Do you know if there's any documentation about corba typekit creation for
RTT v2? The link to the wiki page in the Toolchain manual should then be
removed.
