Thank you! I now have working code!

I used the legacy code - that uses the default sun ORB - to
retrieve the IOR of the object I needed. After that it was as
simple as replacing:

Whith these two lines:

	String ior = "IOR:000000000000003f4..."
        org.omg.CORBA.Object obj = orb.string_to_object(ior);

And now everything works in Geronimo too... Yay!

I must admit that it's still a bit magic to me, I mean why that
change made a difference in the first place. A bit of browsing
on the web suggests that using IOR is a more ORB-independent
way of getting hold of a service, but I'm not sure that's the 
whole story?

Anyway, thanks again Juergen!
