I agree your post-scriptum, I fact I think It's due to oak Java ORB which can
be server since recently only. So this question was about peoples who have
tried such interoperability, if they could confirm the problem.
I've tried omniORB with ORBacus and VisiBroker successfully, the other Java ORB
had problems with their compiler, as we have a large bunch of idl files to test
them.
I've made the changes requested above on proxyCall.cc but id it does not make
difference, client seems to wait ad finitum for server to respond.

OAK CORBA ORB is a product of Paragon Software (I'm not from Paragon):
"The OAK CORBA ORB is a fast, portable, compliant CORBA 2.0 ORB available with
C++ and Java language bindings." Steve Bowman has given the right URL
http://www.paragon-software.com/products/oak/index.html

You have an external test suite, could you make it available on the web site or
somewhere else, so that people would be less boring testing themselves such
questions.
