A corbaloc or corbaname URI will only work if the VisualWorks ORB is
quite recent and supports the interoperable naming service. Otherwise,
unless it supports the Sun proprietary ORBInitialHost/ORBInitialPort
mechanism, an IOR in a file is the only way to go.

What goes wrong?  Can you post the output from trying the call with
omniORB arguments -ORBtraceInvocations -ORBtraceLevel 30.

Cheers,
