What you need is an interface repository, a service which permits you
to query the interfaces of objects. Unfortunately, omniORB doesn't
have one. You can, however, use the interface repository from another
ORB (MICO for example) with omniORB.

To find the objects themselves, you can either register them with the
naming service or come up with your own service.

Don't worry -- it's a lot better than my Spanish. :-)

Cheers,
