Your server program seems to be written in Java, so I don't think that it
can be using OmniORB (which I believe only has C++ and Python versions). You
might well be attempting to use the Omni naming service, and you might also
be trying to access it using an OmniORB client, but. if the server is Java,
then you need to find out what mechanism the Java ORB uses to choose its
port, which has nothing to do with OmniORB (ORBpoa_iiop_port was a setting
specific to OmniORB, version 3 I think).
