You do not mention the compiler version you are using, you
do not include the exact messages output from the compiler, and
you do not provide a fully compilable test-case to reproduce
your error.   This makes it difficult for other people to help you.

How about:

template <class Type>
int
getObjectReference( typename Type::_ptr_type a, const char *name, 
                    CosNaming::NamingContext_ptr nc, int maxRetries);

then to call it:

OCS::IAttributeDB_ptr obj;

getObjectReference<OCS::IAttributeDB>(obj, name, nc, maxRetries);
