You cannot detect when a client's connection is broken, since the TCP
connections used by IIOP are independent of the lifetimes of the
clients and servers. If a connection hasn't been used for a while, the
ORB closes it, and reopens it when necessary. Just because the TCP
connection has gone, it doesn't mean that the client itself no longer
exists.

There are many ways of achieving what you want. I recommend that you
get a good book, like Henning and Vinoski's Advanced CORBA Programming
with C++.

Cheers,

Duncan.
