Making Stringified References

When there is no naming service (or for many other reasons) you can still pass around a stringified reference.
Given an object reference helloRef, you can get its stringified version.
String ior = orb.object_to_string(helloRef)
This string can be written to a file, emailed, etc. At the other end it can be de-stringified with:
org.omg.CORBA.Object obj = orb.string_to_object(ior)
Hello helloRef = HelloHelper.narrow(obj)
