I looked into this a while ago.  The problem is that Java IDL's
resolve_initial_references expects a propritary bootstrap server, which
OmniNames doesn't provide.  Java IDL comes with one, though
(com.sun.CosNaming.BootstrapServer), so you can use that.  I've attempted
to describe how in
<URL:http://www.orl.cam.ac.uk/~bjh/omniORB-JavaIDL-HOWTO.html>.  Note that
that file also mentions the #pragma prefix incompatibility which has been
fixed in the latest omniORB snapshot.
