No, only one version of omniorb is installed.

I'm using "omniidl -I. -I/usr/share/idl/omniORB -bcxx c path/to/idl"  
to generate the stub code. The other idl files are fine, my problems  
center round this specific valuetype.

That approach is fundamentally incompatible with how jboss has  
implemented its corba support. They're using reflection and  
annotations and deploying things at runtime. Switching away from  
jboss is a battle I can't win. If I can't resolve this I can always  
just return a comma delimited string and split it apart on the client  
side, but that is a workaround I dont think I should need. That all  
said, the idl file in question is very simple. How would you write it  
differently? I'm just curious. There may be a cleaner way to specify  
"this returns a list of strings".
