Well, I do this:

     // Initialize the ORB and BOA
      org.omg.CORBA.ORB orb = org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init(argv, null);
      org.omg.CORBA.BOA boa = orb.BOA_init();
      
      // Get the object reference of the Name server
      BufferedReader fin =
        new BufferedReader(new FileReader("nameserver.ior"));
      String strRef = fin.readLine();
      fin.close();
      NamingContext rootctxt =
        NamingContextHelper.narrow(orb.string_to_object(strRef));
      if( null==rootctxt )
      {
       System.err.println("Oops! Invalid nameserver object reference.") ;
       System.exit(1) ;
      }

     //now you have a root-context with which you can do what you want.

If this is what you mean.
