Porting Orbix specific code to omniORB.

[Edward Scott]

The follow is an excerpt from some code which does what you trying to
do:

   CORBA::ORB_ptr orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc,argv,"omniORB2");
   CORBA::BOA_ptr boa = orb->BOA_init(argc,argv,"omniORB2_BOA");

// more code ...

#if defined OMNIORB
   PT_Persistence::PersistentStore_var myRef = store->_this();
   CORBA::String_var p = orb->object_to_string(myRef);
#elif defined ORBIX
   CORBA::Orbix.setServerName ("PersistentStore");
   char *p = CORBA::string_dupl(
      store->
         _object_to_string(CORBA::IT_INTEROPERABLE_OR_KIND));
// more code...

As you can see you need to invoke object_to_string on an instance
of CORBA::ORB.

Edward
