A servant in CORBA is the invocation target containing methods for handling the remote method invocations. In the newer CORBA versions the remote object on the server side is split into the object (that is exposed to remote invocations) and servant (to which the former part delegates the method calls). It can be one servant per remote object or the same servant can support several (possibly all) objects associated with the given Portable Object Adapter.
