You are using the best book I've found. The data types available are 
only those defined in the CORBA standard and afaik the current standard 
does not map anything into STL data types (not sure if that changes for 
the next version). There is an IDL data type "sequence" which might do 
what you want; it is an unbounded vector and has accessible attributes 
much like the STL type.
