[ODE] freezing a moving object

[Patrick McColgan]

I assume you mean the static wall is without a body.

There are probably a number of approaches; if the gravity is the only 
thing  bothering you, you could disable it on the colliding body.

A better approach would probably be that on contact you make a fixed 
joint between the world and the body at the body's position.  
Alternatively you could also destroy the colliding object's body and 
keep the geom (if you were going to use the object as a dynamic object 
again; i.e. it never escapes the wall) this way you escape the body (and 
joint) updates every frame.
