Whether a call is oneway or not is recorded in a callDescriptor object
-- see include/omniORB4/callDescriptor.h.

However, what you really need to understand first is how the connection
management works, which is far from trivial. You might want to start
reading src/lib/omniORB/orbcore/transport.txt, then start looking at the
implementations of the classes it mentions.
