[omniORB] POA/BOA IOR compatibility

[Peter Rapier]

We are hearing that clients created with POA based ORB's are having problems
understanding a persistent IOR we create on our omniORB 2.6 - based server.
It is my understanding that clients should be able to talk to our BOA based
orb regardless of their ORB's object adapter and that IOR's have a specified
format.  Why would there be a problem with one ORB parsing or otherwise
understanding anothers ORB's IOR?  Any info that can be shared with me on
this topic would be greatly appreciated.
