This sounds a little suspicious. I remember a clean explanation from Duncan
about how keys are composed for a generic POA (not INSPOA) and I cannot see
any hole for differentiating PERSISTENT object keys, provided that host/port
stay the same. Where is the trick ?

On the other hand, the modified example seems to do
obj=myecho->this();orb>object_to_string(obj) *before* object activation, so
that I cannot understand where the printed IOR can take its POA info.
Certainly it cannot be the same as in AWE-2 since activation occurs in
between and poa is *not* the RootPOA.
Any comment is welcome,
