The problem here is that you can't simply cast your obj_Place object to a 
::eLockidl::placeCorba_ptr.  Instead, you need to create a new instance of
your obj_Place objects and then call the '_this()' operation to obtain
::eLockidl::placeCorba_ptr you are looking for.  It should look something
like this:

    obj_Place* myObjPlace = new obj_Place(this);
    ::eLockidl::placeCorba_var placeRef = myObjPlace -> _this();
    return placeRef._retn();

Have a look at the hello demo server code to see a similar sort of thing
done to create the implementation object right after the POA manager
reference is obtained.

Darren
