Defining custom/Java objects in an Interface

Hello,

I've been looking into using Java-IDL/CORBA to replace the existing RMI
setup, but am having some difficulty with defining a return value of a Java
object instance, for example,
"javax.media.jai.remote.SerializableRenderedImage".

From a simple file transfer example, which used bytes as a return value, the
interface was ::

interface TestInterface {
   typedef sequence<octet> Data;
   Data downloadFile(in string request);
};

But how would I modify this, so as to define a Java object as a return type
? I tried using the org.omg.CORBA.Object, and casting it to my desired
object type, but the compiler wouldn't have it ...

Thanks for any help,

Ben
