[omniORB] Interoperability with Voyager

[baileyk@slxi.com]

To use that corbaloc URI, if it is correct, one uses the string_to_object()
method on the ORB.  I point this out since the original post only mentioned
getting object references using resolve_initial_reference().

CORBA::Object_var obj = orb->string_to_object
("corbaloc::host:port/foo/bar/baz/myobject");

Then narrow to whatever interface you believe that object implements.

It that really is the form of the object key, you use a corbaloc: URI
like

  corbaloc::host:port/foo/bar/baz/myobject

However, the vast majority of ORBs put some binary octets in their
object keys, so it's quite likely that a corbaloc like that won't
work. If the corbaloc doesn't work, try to get hold of an IOR for an
object, and run catior -x on it. That will give you a hex dump of the
object key.

Cheers,

Duncan.
