I assume you mean corbaloc::hostname:port/objectkey

You won't find it in H&V, because it's not something you're meant to
do in CORBA. Object references are opaque things, containing a lot
more information than just the things that can be in a corbaloc URI.
I think you should question whether it really is the right thing for
you to be doing.

That said, you can implement what you want using internal omniORB
APIs. Look at the source of catior.

Cheers,

Duncan.
