Java's orbd doesn't support the interoperable naming service, so you
can't use a corbaname URI to resolve it. The Java ORB uses a proprietary
bootstrap mechanism invented by Sun. Luckily for you, omniORB supports
it too. It should work if you use these arguments instead of the
-ORBInitRef:

  -ORBInitialHost localhost -ORBInitialPort 900

Everything you've done looks fine, so I don't know why you'd be getting
such a strange problem. It's definitely nothing to do with the omniORB
end, though.

Cheers,

Duncan.
