You are trying to return a servant implementation object from an
operation which (presumably) is meant to return a CORBA object
reference. You must activate the servant object in a suitable POA,
either explicitly or implicitly, and return its object reference. For
clarity of code, it is best to explicitly activate your objects. Your
code should be something like:

  konto = KontoImpl.KontoImpl(whrandom.randint(1, 1000))
  id = poa.activate_object(konto)
  konto_obj = poa.id_to_reference(id)
  self.konten[inhaber] = konto_obj

  return konto_obj

Cheers,

Duncan.
