Do you mean you inherited RefCountServantBase? You get 'ordinary'
ServantBase anyway as a result of deriving your class from POA_whatever.

'Ordinary' ServantBase provides implementations of _add_ref and _remove_ref
which do nothing.

RefCountServantBase provides simple implementations of these as per the
standard.

If you want something different, then you are free to write your own
implementation for these methods, overriding the null ones in ServantBase.
You could look at the Omni source code for RefCountServantBase as a starting
point.
