If you just want to contact a different naming service to the one set in
the registry or configuration file, you don't need to use any internal
omniORB functions. Just give the corbaname URI to string_to_object:

    sprintf(corbaName, "corbaname::%s", hostName);
    obj = orb->string_to_object(corbaName);
    rootContext = CosNaming::NamingContext::_narrow(obj);

Cheers,

Duncan.
