I do not use the Naming service, because the system already contains channels through which the clients can get to the server's IOR. And this is why I don't want the Container's OIR to be changed by the workaround. Am I right, that shutdown=>ORB_init=>activate_object would result in the object's IOR being changed?

Look up the poa->activate_object_with_id function.. I think this does 
what you need.  It allows you to activate an object with an id that you 
specify, which should give you a consistent IOR.

Any threads created internally by omniORB should be removed when you 
shutdown and destroy the ORB.
