[omniORB] constructing an IOR

[Cameron Rochester]

Duncan,

Does the omniINSPOA have any performance drawbacks as opposed to using valid
object references? Our system has many thousands of objects where a large
portion can be used at any given time.

Thanks
Cameron

The object key is proprietary and private to omniORB. It's formed from
the names of the POA hierarchy and the object id. You can look in the
POA implementation to see how it is formatted. If you use that
information, beware that it may change in a later omniORB version.

Why don't you want to use the omniINSPOA?  It's designed for exactly
this situation.

Cheers,

Duncan.
