I have some code here that I use (for a C++ program but the idea should=
 be
clear):

    // Get the object reference of the Name server
    ifstream fin;
    fin.open("nameserver.ior");
    char buffer[2048];
    fin.get(buffer, 2048, '\n');
    fin.close();
    CosNaming::NamingContext_var rootctx =3D
      CosNaming::NamingContext::_narrow(orb->string_to_object(buffer));=

    if(CORBA::is_nil(rootctx))
    {
     cerr << "Error: Invalid rootcontext object reference." << endl ;
    }

With the rootcontext you can do all kinds of cool things. Check the
documentation for details.
(I have used Visiborker Java clients too with the omniORB namingsever, =
but I
don't have the code anymore at hand - am on a new project. But the idea=
 is
the same.)

Regards,

Armin
