According to the report by the CORBA comparison project
(http://www.kav.cas.cz/~buble/corba/comp/), Orbix 3.0 client fails to
interoperate with omniORB. An exception CORBA::OBJECT_NOT_EXIST is raised.
The author has this explanation:

"The ORBIX client does not use a correct object key when contacting the
omniORB server. In the IIOP request, a key that is one byte longer than
what was in the object reference is specified, yielding the
OBJECT_NOT_EXIST exception."

I don't know if Iona has a patch to fix this problem.

You may want to verify this independently. Please write a eg2_clt for Orbix
and run it against a eg2_impl omniORB server with -ORBtraceLevel 30. The
GIOP message dump from the omniORB server tells you something about what
Orbix is sending.
