hmm, I'm using Java Visibroker 4.5.1 with JDK 1.3.1_06 under Linux being
served by a C++ Server with omniOrb 4.x using omniNames.

excerpt from my Java client:
[...]
    System.setProperty("ORBInitRef"
,"NameService=corbaname::SERVERHOST:2809");
    System.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass",
"com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB");
    System.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass",
"com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORBSingleton");

    NamingContextExt nc;

    try {
      // Initialize the ORB.
      orb = ORB.init( (String[])null, System.getProperties() );

      // Obtain the root context.
      nc = NamingContextExtHelper.narrow(
        orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService"));
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
[...]

in ominORB.cfg:
InitRef = NameService=corbaname::SERVERHOST
