Thanks, that does indeed work.  I.E. If the server runs this...

  poa = orb.resolve_initial_references("omniINSPOA")
  ei = NameDB_i()
  eo = poa.activate_object_with_id("MyNameDB",ei)

The client can use

   corbaloc::localhost:5566/MyNameDB

But, when the server does this...

  # Print out the IOR
  print orb.object_to_string(eo)

Out comes 

  IOR:01000000010000000000000000000000

Which doesn't look right.


Thanks again
