There are no known issues with Java 1.4. Java 1.3 has a problem with
INS compliant name servers, as I've just posted about.

Is the omniORB server on the same machine as the web server that
served the applet?  If not, the Java security model will block the
connection, which may well turn into a COMM_FAILURE. If that isn't the
problem, try running the omniORB server with -ORBtraceLevel 25. That
might indicate what's going on.
