JDK 1.4 supports the INS, so it will accept the corbaname string. If
you're using JDK 1.3, you'll have to create the name sequence
yourself. The above string represents a two element naming sequence.
The first element has id "Stars", kind "Services"; the second has id
"MCM", kind "Server".

To get the reference to the naming service itself, you should
configure the Java ORB with either the IOR printed when omniNames
starts up, or using ORBInitialHost/ORBInitialPort.

Note that JDK 1.3 has a bug that means it will crash if omniNames is
running on the same machine as the client. There is no workaround that
I'm aware of.

Cheers,

Duncan.
