Do you want to do it based on the IDL definitions, or at run-time?

If you want to do it based on IDL, you have to compile the IDL into a
suitable structure. You can do that by making a new back-end for
omniidl. See

  http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/omni41/omniidl.html

If you're asking because you're sniffing the traffic and want to decode
it, you might find Wireshark's idl2wrs helpful. It's a back-end for
omniidl that builds a Wireshark plugin:

If you're trying to do it at run-time, look at the CORBA::TypeCode
interfaces to see how to dynamically find out about a type definition.

Cheers,

Duncan.
