Hi Sean.

I assume you mean "how to deactivate the CORBA object and delete the
servant" ? Take a look in the omniORB source at
src/appl/omniNames/BindingIterator_i.h and look at its destroy() method.

Note that the servant is not explicitly deleted in destroy() since a
servant may be shared among multiple CORBA objects. Also note the use of
a POA with explicitly set policies to ensure that the servant is
actually deleted at some point (or at least has its refcount
decremented) after deactivating the CORBA object.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
