[omniORB] Retrieving the ObjectId from an Object Reference

[Silvia Andreia Rocha]

Hi,

Does anyone know how an application can obtain the ObjectId associated with
an IOR?

I've taken a look at "reference_to_id" but it says that it will only work if
the POA used to create the IOR is also used to invoke the "reference_to_id".

This brings out another issue: is it possible for an object to get and use
another objects POA? If true how can this be done?

Hope anyone can give me a hand.

Thank's a lot in advance
Sílvia
