CORBA::Principal is not supported in omniORB, and is now deprecated
anyway. You can work-around the problem by replacing the Principal
type with a sequence of octets, and you will be compatible on-the-wire
with an ORB which does support Principal. The only time this will not
work is if you put the structure in an Any, in which case the TypeCode
will be wrong.

Cheers,

Duncan.
