Hi Tuyen.

I can't say that I know of a standard way of getting a servant's POA by
querying it. There is _default_POA(), but that returns the root POA and
not necessarily the servant's POA. _default_POA() can be overridden, but
is that a good idea, considering its name ?

I'd say go with the global reference to the POA or keep it in a servant
member variable. Check for instance omniNames - look in
NamingContext_i.cc, search for "nc_poa".
