There aren't any known issues like that with omniORB. The first thing
to check is that you are activating the POAManager in the C++ server.
POAs start up in the holding state, so they exhibit the kind of
symptoms you describe.

If that isn't it, try running your omniORB server with command line
arguments -ORBtraceLevel 25. That should give some indication whether
the call is reaching omniORB at all.

Cheers,

Duncan.
