PortableServer::Current will be in omniORB 4.0. It's not feasible to
add it to 3.x since it touches too many places in the ORB.

Default servants are indeed rather limited without Current support.
You can go some way to faking the same sort of thing by using a
ServantLocator which sets some context in thread specific data. Since
omniORB 3's omnithread doesn't support thread specific data, any such
solution will be non-portable between operating systems.

Cheers,

Duncan.
