I wonder about your prob. I wonder that if you have imported org.omg.CORBA.*
or not. Try importing that package and classes. I hope i understood your
prob. correctly and my answer will help.

Thank you, it seems a logical thing to do, and also others have suggested
this. But I have copied the exact source code from the book to be sure I
have it right. In this code there is no import statements. So unless they
have done a major mistake, I think I have the right code. The book is 2
1/2 years old, so it would surprise me if there would be no errata on this
error if it existed, I did check their website.

And what is more, I have now come one step further. The compiler is no longer
complaining about org.omg.CORBA.orb, however, it is now complaining about
com.inprise.vbroker.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl

When I unjar the .jar files following the installation, I can see that there
is org.omg.CORBA.* classes. But there is no com.inprise.vbroker.*. On the
other hand, there is com.visigenic.vbroker.*. The various classes in the
source code and the classes found there, do not correspond to each other.
So I am wondering if I somehow have the wrong class library?
