To create a Java object you use the new() operator; to delete a Java object you do nothing; the garbage collector reclaims it for you. CORBA clients never create CORBA objects, only servers do.

As a client, to create a CORBA object, you invoke another object which is the factory for the type of object you want created; the factory returns an object reference for you to use to invoke the new object. Typically the factory is implemented by the same server that implements the object type.

Neither is there any standard way to delete a CORBA object. Because a CORBA object may be shared by many clients around a network, it is hard to know when an object has, in Java terms, become garbage. In general, only the object server is in a position to know, and then only if the server developer provides a "destroy" operation for the object.
