[omniORB] string_to_object question

[EDWARD_LIN]

Hello all,
I don't use TAO, but according to the book of 'Advanced CORBA Programming
with C++' by Michi Henning & Steve Vinoski, the function string_to_object()
can only accept stringified object reference, otherwise, it throws
exception!

Best Regards,
Edward
