Well, it works for us, going against out-of-the-box omniNames 4.0.0 on
both Windows 2000 and Linux. We only use the Java 1.4 POA mapping in our
servers and the IDL is all compiled with idlj. I suppose you use the 1.3
BOA - don't know if that explains it, but at least that seems to be one
difference on yours and ours setup.

FWIW
