Honestly I don't quite get what parts you're supposed to code and what 
parts are already provided. (Server-DLLs what?)

With CORBA it roughly works like this:

1.) file.idl : Contains Interface definition (Interface only)
2.) From this file omniORB generates C++ files, so called stub-files 
that will be used by the server application AND by the client application.
3.) When you need to write the client application, you need to use the 
C++ classes (see the documentation which ones exactly) that are present 
in these generated C++ files. Then *you* implement all the 
functions(methods) that are originally defined in the IDL file.

If you want to program with CORBA and C++, please get the book "Advanced 
CORBA Programming with C++" by Henning/Vinoski, otherwise you will waste 
a lot of time.
