The object key is proprietary and private to omniORB. It's formed from
the names of the POA hierarchy and the object id. You can look in the
POA implementation to see how it is formatted. If you use that
information, beware that it may change in a later omniORB version.

Why don't you want to use the omniINSPOA?  It's designed for exactly
this situation.

Cheers,

Duncan.
