Sorry to reopen an old thread, but I am interested in a similar issue: 
how to use a single POA default servant to implement all objects of a
particular type in omniORB3.  The idea would be to write a stateless and
replicable server for these objects.

What are the plans for adding support for PortableServer::Current in
omniORB3?  What are the technical barriers, if any, to implementing
this?  In my naivete, it seems to me that it is just a matter of taking
advantage of thread-local storage to store the current POA and object-id
during an operation invocation :-).
