Only as long as you do not permit any CORBA/ORBit to free it.

Otherwise / the more correct way is to use:

/usr/include/orbit-2.0/orbit/orb-core/corba-string.h:
	CORBA_char          *CORBA_string_dup  (const CORBA_char *str);
or
	CORBA_char  *CORBA_string_alloc  (CORBA_unsigned_long len);

therefore
	thisemployee.name = CORBA_string_dup ("someone");
