I did exactly what he suggested and it works.

As all of you pointed out that I need to call obj_is_ready on the object
which lets the object receive messages. But Orbix does not explicitly
need the obj_is_ready function call? Any non-CORBA compliant?

Here is the Orbix implementation of the newCounter() function. Notice
that it is using TIE approach.

counter_ptr
counterFactory_i::newCounter()
{

 counter_ptr c = new TIE_counter(counter_i) (new counter_i);
 counter::_duplicate(c);
 return c;
}


P.S. I implement the freeCounter functions as followings:

void   counterFactory_i::freeCounter(counter_ptr c){

	CORBA::release(c);
}
